and direct so as to make him an Assistant
Meat and Milk Inspector. The rapid and
large growth of the city renders it Impossible
for the Meat and Milk Inspector to look alter
the various milk depots and stores, and there
has been a very large amount of adulteration
of milk which it has been impossible to cor¬
rect with the limited amount of help we have.
This is a great and growing evil, and w ith one
additional employe, whose duties I shall pre¬
scribe as above stated, to wit: To visit the
various railway station at all incoming of
trains, and all the large milk depots and
stores, and thoroughly regulate and control
the milk dealers, so as to prevent this whole¬
sale adulteration of milk, will add much to
the efficiency of the Bureau of Health and
save the lives oi at least many children. The
salary of the said appointee to be the same as
now paid employes of the Bureau ol Health,
to wit: the sum of $75 per month.
I would also slate to your honorable bodies
that the last Councils, under the direction of
the Finance Committee, added the sum of
$1,500 to the Bureau of Plumbing and House
Drainage for the purpose of employing one
additional Plumbing and Sewer Inspector,
making his salury the same as now paid the
present Inspector.
With the very large number of new build¬
ings that are annually put up—last year being
upwards of four thousand—it is absolutely
impossible for one man to regulate and con¬
trol the question of plumbing, sewerage and
house drainage. This is a very important
Bureau, and should regulate and control this
matter in a more efficient manner. There is
much defective plumbing,sewering and drain¬
age work being done all over the city by con¬
tractors and parties who care nothing about
the health and happiness of the citizens, their
whole purpose being to have the work done as
cheaply as possible ; and, as plumbing work is
usually hid away out of sight, it is too late
lUter tiie building is completed to detect and
rrimdy it. With an additional Inspector a
close watch can be kept upon all the traps and
sewers, as indicated by the plans and specifi¬
cation s i h at are ret)u i red to be fi Ied.
I would, therefore, ask your honorable
bodies to authorize this Department to ap-
M>int an additional Plumbing, Sewer and
louse Drainage inspector at the same salary
as now paid our present Inspector, to wit: the
sum of $1,50 per annum. Tills will then place
the Bureau of Plumbing amt House Drainage
on the same lias Is as the Building Inspector's
office, to wit: two persons in charge of each
Bureau. Even this number Is quite insuffi¬
cient, but it is a step in the right direction,
and the granting of these two requests will
add much to the efficiency of the Department
of Public Safety.
Respectfully submitted,
J, O. BKOWIf,
Chief Department of Public Safety.

Report of the Department of Public
Safety.
Pittsburgh, February 1, 1892.
To the Select and Common Councils of the City
Of Pittsburgh :
Gentlemen:— The records and reports for
the year ending January 81, 1892, herewith sub¬
mitted, constitute my fourth annual report to
your honorable bodies, and closes my first
term as Chief of the Department of Public
Safety.
The record is made and submitted to you.
Of the success or failure of the work, you and
the public are competent to judge. For its
successful administration I ask no praise; and,
as for its shortcomings, the magnitude of the
work is one element of its failure.
I have had the Superintendents of the vari¬
ous bureaus make detailed and exhaustive
statements of the operations and matters per¬
taining thereto, and would respectfully ask
your attention to the clear outline embraced
within the scope and sphere of these exhibits.
During the year the Department met with
an irreparable loss in the death of the late
lamented Gamble Weir, Superintendent of the
Bureau of Police. His efficient service, execu¬
tive ability and wise counsel are greatly missed
by the Bureau of Police and the Department
of Public Safety.
Entering upon the first year of my second
term as Chief of the Department of Public
Safety, I invoke your hearty co-operation and
assistance.
Thanking you for the cheerful compliance
with all requests made by me, I remain
Very respectfully yours,
J. O. Brown,
Chief, Department of Public Safety.
Which was read, received and filed.
Also,
No.' 208. Resolved , That the Chief of
Department of Public Safety be and he is
hereby authorized to have printed 750 copies of
the annual report of the Department of Public
Safety for the year 1891, and 500 copies of the
Bureau of Health for the year 1891.
Which was read.
And the rule having been suspended the
resolution was read a second and third times
and finally passed.

Pittsburgh, May 9,1892.
To the Select and Common Councils of the City
of Pittsburgh :
Gkntlkmkn In compliance with resolu¬
tion duly passed by your honorable bodies, a
copy of which is hereto attached and made
part, of this report, I submit to you the infor¬
mation asked for, so far as the same is within
the purview of my department.
In the first place you ask for the number of
police officers who are stationed at corners and
“attending to business for street or traction
railroad companies.” To this I answer that
the following named parties are paid for at the
rate of $2.50 per day—the nth' ot a regular pa¬
trolman—at the following corners, to wit:
1*. ,1. Young, corner of Fifth avenue and
Hniithflckl street; paid by tbe Pittsburgh
Traction Company.
Ross RorriHon, corner Sixth avenue and
Wylie street; puid by the Central Traction
Company.
Frank Case, corner Fifth avenue and Wood
street; paid by the Pittsburgh Traction Coin-
lmuy.
Joseph Baker, corner of Liberty and Sixth
street; paid by the Citizens’ Traction Company.
Robert Hughes, cemetery gate; paid by the
Citizens* Traction Company.
There are In the City of Pittsburgh but 25
police officers doing corner duty, covering 12
corners. They are stationed as follows, to wit:
Thomas Paisley, corner Sixth street and
Penn avenue.
Charles Grimes, corner Liberty and Market.
Garret Orossun, corner Fifth avenue and
Market.
Edward White, corner Fourth avenue and
Smith field.
Martin Mogan, corner Fourth avenue and
Sniithtlcid.
John Kramer, corner Fifth avenue and
Sniithtlcid,
John McClury, corner Fifth avenue and
Grant.
Joseph H. Smitli, corner Fifth avenue and
Grant.
William O'Connor, Sixth avenue and Smith-
field.
.Tames K. Glenn, Sixth avenue and Smith-
field.
Thomas Welsh, corner Sixth avenue and
Wood.
P. J. Kennedy, corner Sixth avenue and
Wood.
Nathan Givens, comer Sixth avenue and
Wylie.
Albert Teeters, comer Fifth avenue and
Wood.
William Palmer, corner Thirty-fourth and
Butler,
James Rmce, Shady avenue and Penn.
Iveinuel Grimes, Penn and Centre.
William Ramsey, Penn and Centre.
H. H. Coleman, Nogley and Penn.
John A. Ferguson, Negley and Penn.
Harry Perry, Highland and Kllsworth.
Josepti I)unn, Highland and Ellsworth.
John Ashelman, corner Forbes and Atwood.
Thomas Broderick, comer Forbes and At¬
wood.
Patrick Farrel, corner Craig and Fifth ave¬
nue.
J. W. Hayden, corner Craig and Fifth ave¬
nue.
Officer G. M. Cochrane, of the Southside,
patrols a beat, but reports at 9 A. M. and works
for ton hours. Is stationed at Carson and
South Twelfth during school hours.
These police officers are stationed by the
Bureau of Police, under my direction, with
reference to the greatest protection to Hie pub¬
lic streets and corners where the travel is
gr«atest and, therefore, the danger greatest.
The Department should have at Least 25 ad¬
ditional cornermen. There should be at least
one police officer at all street crossings from
Smith field street bridge to Liberty street; there
should bo the same on Wood street from
Fourth avenue to Market, and there should be
two cornermen at Sixth and Liberty, one at
the corner of Fourth and Market, one at the
corner of Ninth and Penn, Seventh and Penn,
Eleventh and Perm and Sixteenth and Penn;
one on Carson street at the Lake Erie depot,
and one on Twelfth and Penn and at the South
Side market house.
Pittsburgh is the only city of its size in the
United States that does not have, strictly
speaking, a daylight force. In Pittsburgh
there are no police officers on duty from Oa.m,
until 2 p. m., except the cornermen, who, as
now placed, can he reached or called for at any
time they may be needed, and are a great ben¬
efit to the city. The vehicle travel is so great,
a marked increase over what it was some years
ago, that it is impossible for pedestrians to
cross streets at any angle without danger, as
teams go along in long streams and it is im¬
possible to enforce the 15-foot ordinance.
In 1869 there were 14 men on corners, doing
corner duty, and to-day we have but 25, cover¬
ing 12 corners or intersections, although the in¬
crease in travel, both by vehicles and pedes¬
trians, has been trebled many times over.
While I am addressing you in reference to
this matter, I would respectfully ask your hon¬
orable bodies to take into consideration the
propriety of increasing the force, so as to en¬
able the Department to cover, at all hours of
the day, the entire city.
All other cities in the United States have
three reliefs, eight hours cadi, and every beat
in the city is covered at all times, day and
night, and all important corners, where travel
is heavy and the danger great there is a man
stationed; while Pittsburgh has but two reliefs,
of ten hours each, and from 6 a. m. until 2 i\ m.
has no police protection excepting the 12 cor¬
nermen above mentioned.
I believe it to be my plain duty to place cor¬
nermen at the dangerous points of the city
where the safety of the public requires that
there should be extra police care and protec¬
tion; and if, incidentally, street car companies
are benefit ted by the protection that is afforded
the general public, especially to women and
children, at the dangerous crossings and points
in the city, in excess above that, protection
that the city is in duty bound to afford corpor¬
ations, as well as individuals, then the city
should be reimbursed by car license.
Respectfully yours,
J. O. Brown,
Chief, Department of Public Safety.

Mayor’s Office, )
Pittsburgh, Pa., May 31st, 1892./
To the President and Members of Select Coun¬
cils : *
Gentlemen :~I respectfully return to your
honorable body without my approval an Or¬
dinance (S. C. Bill No. 241) entitled “An Or¬
dinance granting to the Exchange Street
Railway Company its successors and assigns
the right to enter upon, use . and occupy
certain streets and highways, and to lease its
franchises and property, or either.”
Under the ordinance the company will have
the right to enter upon and construct its rail¬
way or branches or extensions thereof with a
single line of track over and along any and
all of the following named streets or high¬
ways or parts thereof:
Beginning at the intersection of Fourth
avenue and Market street, thence along Mar¬
ket street to the intersection thereof with
Liberty avenue, thence with the consent of
the Allegheny Traction Company and the
Tranverse Passenger Railway Company along
the south-eastern side of Liberty avenue tp
Sixth avenue and thence with consent of
Pittsburgh, Allegheny and Manchester Pas¬
senger Railway Company and Traction Com¬
pany along Sixth avenue to Wood street, and
to operate its cars thereon.
There are several street railway tracks on
Liberty and Bixlh avenues at the present
time. The Act of Assembly of 1889 expressly
says: “No extension or branch of a street
railway shall be constructed on any street or
highway upon which a track is laid or author¬
ized under any existing charter, except as
hereinafter provided. The ** hereinafter pro-
59
n
vldod” refers to the use by one company,
with Uie consent of the city authorities, of
such portion, not exceeding 500 feet of tlie
tracks of another company, as may be neces¬
sary to enable such company to construct a
circuit upon Its own road at the end thereof.
If the distance from Market street to Wood
street. Is more than 500 feet I cannot Nee how
the Kx change Street Kail way Company could,
in tlie face of this provision of the Act of As¬
sembly, construct Its railway upon Liberty
and sixth avenues even with the consent of
the city and of the company already occupy¬
ing the streets. If I am wrong In rny under¬
standing of the provision referred to in the
Act of 1SHI), 1 hope some member of Coun¬
cil more familiar than myself with Legisla¬
tive enactments will explain what the law
really does mean.
It is hardly reasonable to suppose that the
Exchange Street Hallway Company desires
simply to run cars from Wood street by way
of Sixth avenue, Liberty avenue and Market
street to Fourth avenue and stop there. Yet
that Is what the ordinance seems to Indicate.
The intention must be to lease the franchise
and property to other companies, having
rights and privileges upon other streets. This
statement Is justified by the language of sec¬
tion two.
Undoubtedly the object of the ordinance is
to authorize the Duquesne Traction Company
to run Its cars over the route designated to
Fourth avenue, thence along that street to n
connection at Wood street with the tracks of
said company now used on Fourth avenue.
Where the Exchange Street Railway Com¬
pany or the Duquesne Traction Company
acquires the right to occupy Fourth avenue
between Market and Wood streets I do not
know. There Is nothing in tlie present or¬
dinance granting authority tousethat portion
of the street. However, the important feature
of the ordinance Is contained In the provision
authorizing the construction of railway tracks
on Market street and the operation of cars
thereon.
Is it wise to permit street railway companies
to occupy this street between Liberty and
Fourth avenues? To this question I have
devoted considerable thought. I have done ‘
more than this. I have talked with many of
our citizens in order, if possible, to ascertain
the feeling of our people on the subject. I
have not confined my interview to persons
doing business upon the line of the street,
because I realize, and I say tills with all
respect, that their opposition, while entitled
to consideration, is very largely the repetition
of history as regards the construction of rail¬
ways upon any street. I have talked with
citizens in all parts of our city, and ro far as
I am able to determine the sentiment of the
community Is against the operation of cars
on this street.
Market street belongs, peculllarly, to the
general public, and the people of the city
have perhaps a greater Interest In It than in
any other avenue. Our city markets are on
this gtreet and they are visited by the great
mass of the people of tlie city on every mar¬
ket day. The best Interests of the city de¬
mand that these market houses should, at
all tlines, be accessible to those who bring to
market tlie goods and supplies necessary to
meet the wants of our people. These market
houses are busy places on market days, and I
firmly t>elleve the running of cars upon the
street would prove a constant annoyance,
and a perpetual source of danger, not only to
horses and vehicles, but to men, women and
children. This Rtreet is but 22 feet from curb
to curb and is one of tlie most crowded
thoroughfares in the whole city. That por¬
tion of it between Fifth and Liberty avenues
constitute tlie narrow passageway through
which the great mass of people going to and
coining from Allegheny City daily pass.
Perhaps 50,000 to 75,0U0 human beings pass
back and forth along this portion of the street
every day of the week.
Very frequently, especially in the after¬
noons, the whole streeL is converted into a
footway and crowded with men, women and
children who are unable to find walking
space on the sidewalk. Add to this mass of
moving humanity the innumerable vehicles
that are constantly coming and going through
this contracted passageway and you will be
able to form some conception of the condi¬
tion of Market streeL at the present time.
I know It is claimed by the advocates of the
ordinance, that It only requires a line or
several lines of street cars to remove this
pressure and relieve the street. But how a
street car rushing into t his narrow neck every
minute or half minute is to effect this radical
change Isa problem which I confess my inabil¬
ity to understand, Tlie argument is based on
the assumption that, outside of the driver of
an Iron wagon or of an ice wagon, the people
have been taught to believe that they have
no rights that street cars and street car com¬
panies are bound to respect.
At the intersection of Fifth avenue and
Market street, the cars of the Fifth Avenue
Traction Company cross Market street one
way or the other on an average about once a
minute.
If the cars of the Duquesne Traction Com¬
pany and the cars of tlie Allegheny and Man¬
chester line are permitted to occupy Market
street, what will be tlie result?
We will have a car crossing Fifth avenue
every thirty seconds and a car crossing
Market street every minute; in other words
the intersection of these two important streets
will be practically monopolized by street
railway companies. The principal inlet and
outlet for the people of two great cities will
be turned over to street cars.
That such a condition of things will serious¬
ly interfere with public travel and the rights
of tlie people must be apparent to any person
who will take the trouble to carefully ex¬
amine tlie situation. I am in favor of rapid
transit, but I am not In favor of giving rail¬
way companies absolute possession of impor¬
tant streets in tlie business center of Lhe city
to the detriment of the general public.
It is the business of this city that maintains
and supports our people and insures our
prosperity. Street railways are an outgrowth
of the prosperity of the city, und while they
are a great convenience they ought not io be
permitted to Interfere with the free and un¬
restricted use of the streets for business pur-
. poses.
The persons most deeply Interested in the
passage of this ordinance are the persons
most deeply interested in streeL railways and
railway corporations.
Paramount to their interests are the in¬
terests of the general public which will, in my
judgment, be seriously infringed upon by the
surrender of this important street. Hoping
your honorable body will give the measure
the consideration its importance demands, I
am, Very respectfully,
H. I. Gourley,
Mayor.

To the President and Members of Select Coim-
cil :
Gentlemen: —I beg leave to return to your
honorable body without my approval An Or¬
dinance (S, C. Bill No, 14) entitled “An Ordi¬
nance granting t he consent of the Councils, to
the Pittsburgh, Allegheny and Manchester
Passenger Hail way Company, its successors,
lessees and assigns to enter upon and use
certain streets for its railway, and to connect
with certain other passenger railways.”
The first preamble to this ordinance declares
that by reason of the termini of various rail¬
ways being situate at the intersection of
Liberty avenue and Sixth street, the operation
of the cars of said Traction Companies is
attended with more or less danger to the
public.
The second preamble proposes to remedy
tills evil by making such a distribution of
cars of said Traction Companies as will send
said cars to other and additional termini
throughout the city.
The ordinance then proceeds to give the
Pittsburgh, Alleghenj r and Manchester Pas¬
senger Railway Company the right to con¬
struct, maintain and operate an electric street
railway, beginning at end of North Side bridge
on Seventh street; thence along Duqnesne
Way to Water street; thence along Water
street to Wood street. Also at. an end of North
Side bridge to connect with tracks of Trans¬
verse Passenger Railway Company; thence
along Seventh street to Liberty. Also, at.
corner of Sixth and Penn to connect with
south track of Citizens Passenger Railway
Company; thence along Penn avenue to
Seventh street, with authority to straddle said
track on Penn avenue if permission cannot
be obtained from Citizens Railway Company
to use the track already there.
Also, with consent of Allegheny Traction
Company to connect with tracks of Transverse
Passenger Railway at Sixth and Liberty
where said streets intersect with Market.
Also, with consent of Allegheny Traction
Company, said company shall have the right
to operate its cars over all the streets now
used and occupied by the Allegheny Traction
Company for the operation of its ears, and
also upon such other streets as the Allegheny
Traction Company, as lessor of Lite Transverse
Passenger Railway Company may have tlie
right to operate its cars on.
Also, beginning at Liberty and Market;
thence along Market street to Fourth avenue;
thence along Fourth avenue to Wood street;
thence along Wood sLreet on Transverse
trucks with consent of the Allegheny Trac¬
tion Company. The ordinance provides,also,
that if the Exchange Street Railway Company
be authorized to lay tracks on Market street,
then the Pittsburgh, Allegheny and Man¬
chester Passenger Railway Company, its
successors, lessees and assigns shall obtain
consent of said Exchange .Street Railway Com¬
pany to operate over its tracks on Market
street.
Also, that It shall be authorized to agree
with such street railway companies as have
rights and tracks on Fourth avenue between
Market and Wood to use such tracks for the
operation of its cars. IT permission from
other companies cannot be had for the use of
tracks on Market and Fourth avenue then the
said Pittsburgh, Allegheny and Manchester
Passenger Railway Company shall have the
right to lay additional tracks upon Market
street and Fourth avenue over the route
specified.
The ordinance provides for numerous other
rights and franchises which I have really not
the time to enumerate.
It is an omnibus measure in the fullest
sense of the term. It seems to have been
drawn especially in the interest of lessors,
lessees, successors and assigns. It is evidently
intended to convey all the authority and grant
all the rights, powers, privileges and fran¬
chises which the company may see fit to use
or exercise at any time in the future.
It is the most comprehensive and complex
piece of legislation that has been submitted
to me for approval since I have occupied this
office.
Never before, so far as I have knowledge,
has any one ordinance conferred such ex¬
tensive rights and privileges, and these loo
without one scintilla of compensation to the
city. It even contains u provision modifying
the section of the General Ordinance requir¬
ing companies to pave between the tracks
and one foot outside thereof. This paving, as
provided by the ordinance, Is to be limited to
streets not paved with block stone.
The Transverse Passenger Railway Com¬
pany, which occupies Wood street, paved be¬
tween the tracks and one foot outside thereof
with block stone us a small compensation to
the city for its occupancy of the street.
Under this ordinance, the Pittsburgh, Alle¬
gheny and Manchester Passenger Railway
Company is authorized to use the Wood street
tracks Jointly with the Transverse Company.
It will be relieved from all paving because the
street is already paved with block stone, and
yet the ordinance requires no other compen¬
sation. The company is granted permission
to operate its cars upon this important street
without the payment of one dollar to the city.
What Is true of this street will apply with
equal force to many of the other streets enu¬
merated in th is ordinance.
This ordinance succeeds in distributing the
dangerous termini mentioned in the two
preambles already referred to, but it forgets to
say anything about the numerous crossings
and corners that this distribution converts
into places of constant danger to the public.
Let me refer to one of these: If the Pitts¬
burgh, Allegheny <fc Manchester Passenger

Hallway Company \n permitted to occupy
Market street and Fourth avenue all its cars
will swing around the corner at Fourth ave-
nue and Wood street and across the tracks of
the Wylie Avenue line in order to reach the
trucks of the Transverse Company on the east
hide of thin street. We will have cars circling
around from Wood to Fourth, and cars swing¬
ing around from Fourth to Wood every
minute in the day thus converting a corner
already dangerous into a place of ten-fold
greater danger. L might speak also of Fourth
and Market, Fifth and Market, Fifth and
Wood and many other crossings and corners,
hut time will not permit.
I mention these things to show that while
the ordinance may lessen the danger, as
claimed by the company, at liberty and
Market, it will increase the peril in a dozen
other places. And yet there is not a provision
in tiie ordinance requiring the company to
station men at these dangerous crossings and
corners for the protection of the public.
By-and-by the city will be asked to play
the philanthropist as usual, and supply offi¬
cers who slm 11 be paid by the taxpayers to
protect the lives and property of our people
from the companies and corporations that
have become rich and are becoming richer by
wresting gratuitous franchises from the mu¬
nicipality.
Aye, It Is said that after awhile an ordinance
will be passed placing a tax of fifty dollars on
each streetcar operated on the streets of our
city.
Have you calculated the amount of revenue
this tax will produce? Well, just about
twelve or flrieen thousand dollars; while it
will cost the city not one cent less than forty
thousand dollars annually to pay the officers
required to signal the cars of these companies
and corporations at the crossings and corners
of our streets.
We are told that street railways are a con¬
venience to the public. No one denies this,
but it does not follow that they should be per¬
mitted to absolutely monopolize the business
streets of the city without some reasonable
compensation. They area convenience, but
the people pay for the convenience. They are
primarily for the benefitof the companiesand
the pecuniary udvantugeof their projectors.
We have given away very many valuable
franchises without demanding any equiv¬
alent return to theclLy. Home of these have
l>een utilized by the companies receiving
them, while others have been transferred to
oilier corporations for valuable consider¬
ations.
is it not our duty as the sworn represen¬
tatives of the people to see that these numer¬
ous rights and privileges which are a source
of ro much profit to companies and corpora¬
tions are made a source of some revenue to
our city?
My objections to the placing of tracks or the
operation of ears on Market street are fully
presented in my communication accompany¬
ing the Exchange Street Railway ordinance
herewith enclosed. These objections apply
with equal force to this ordinance and need
not be repeated here.
I respectfully request that that communica¬
tion be read before action Is taken by your
honorable body on this ordinance.
Very respectfully,
H. I. Gouruky,
Mayor.

Pittsburgh, June 27tli, 18912.
To the Select and Common Councils of the City of
Pittsburgh:
Gentlemen:— Herewith I transmit to you
options for the purchase of certain properties
lying in the East End of this city, to wit: those
of John Fite, William Flinii and Charles Lock¬
hart, the terms and consideration therefor
being fully named therein.
I respectfully ask your bodies that you shall
confirm and approve the same, if, in your
judgment, it shall seern commendable.
The properties agreed to be purchased by
me for the use of the city are, in my judgment,
so purchased at a fair market value.
That which Charles Lockhart proposes to
convey lie does in consideration of it becoming
part of and merged In H igbland Park. I have
every reason to believe that tie offers It to the
City of Pittsburgh for this use at a much less
sum of money than he would ask and in all
probability receive from a private purchaser.
The property purchased by me from John
Fite is offered to the city for and at the exact
price by me paid, there being no profit arising
to me personally or officially therefrom.
The property offered by William FI inn is at
exactly the price he paid therefor, and its
transfer will have no pecuniary advantage
whatever to tiirn.
These properties will, In my judgment, form
an exceedingly valuable accession to the pro¬
perties already owned by the city, and form¬
ing Highland Park, the last two named pieces
forming part of the main entrance to the park.
Very respectfully,
Eiiwakd M. Bigelow,
Chief Department of Public Works.
Which was read and received.
Also,
No. 337.

Pittsburgh, June 24th, 1892.
To the Select and Common Councils :
Gentlemen ;—Under the provisions of the
ordinance of the City of Pittsburgh, approved
the Kith day of May, 1892, the Committee on
Charities report:
First. Herewith they return to you all the
proposals submitted to the City of Pittsburgh
under said ordinance, and in connection
therewith they also return the communication
and recommendation of Robert C. Elliott, Esq.,
Chief of t lie Department of Charities,
Your committee beg leave to report further
that from personal inspection made by some
of the members of this committee, and from
all the information they have been able to
obtain they believe the recommendation of
the Chief of the Department of Charities to be
a wise and prudent one, and the property so
recommended to be adapted and desirable for
the purpose of a farm for the care of the in¬
digent, insane, and poor, and desirable and
advantageous for the city to purchase.
W hereto re you r com m i ttec have a pp roved
and do hereby approve the recommendation
of acceptance made by the Chief of the Depart¬
ment of Charities, and ash the Councils to ap¬
prove tins report.
In order that all time possible may be saved,
your committee herewith return an ordinance
authorizing the purchase of the property of
George Neeld, as recommended and approved.
Respectfully submitted.
Thus. e. Perry,
Attest: Committee on Charities.

Pittsburgh, June2;}, 1802.
To Hit: Committee on Charities :
GentlemenI n compliance with the
terms of the ordinance “authorizing and
directing advertisements for proposals for the
sale to the City of Pittsburgh of real estate to
be used for the relief and employment of the
poor of said city, and also provi d i ng for the
reception and opening of such proposals and
action thereon, and providing means for the
payment of the purchase money of such pro¬
perty t ” approved the 16th day of May, 1892. I
respectfully report.
First. Herewith all proposals submitted are
returned to your Committee.
Second. I personally visited and examined
each piece of property oiTered to the city, and
heard ail parties who desired a hearing upon
or about the same.
Third. A careful examination of the whole
resulted in my concluding that but two tracts
so offered were in any manner suitable for the
purposes designed, namely, the farm known
as the “Dairy Farm,” near Sewickley, and
the farm offered by George Neeld. As to the
former the only objection I could or can offer
is that it lies too far from the railroad. The
difficulty of reaching it excludes my recom¬
mending it The property is exceedingly
fine, and, for many purposes would be ad¬
mirably suited.
The farm offered by George Neeld is, in my
judgment, the most desirable offered, and the
very best suited in every respect for our pur¬
poses.
It lies about fourteen miles from the Court
House, is located near Mansfield. It is under¬
laid with coal, has a valuable stone supply,
1ms ample water for all purposes, has a gas-
line running through its edge, is in the neigh¬
borhood of abundant natural gas supply, has
a railroad very near it, and one located right
through it, has upwards of a hundred acres of
good bottom land; the price at which it is
offered is. in rny judgment, a fair market
value, and, while believing the city would be
the gainer by having a larger acreage, yet con¬
tains some 2-10 acres, whereon buildings can
be erected and ground left for all the work
which may, for some time to come, be re¬
quired.
I therefore respectfully recommend the ac¬
ceptance by your Committee and the Councils
of the tract or piece of land offered to the city
by (Jeorge Neeld, and in his proposal, de-
scribed, believing it best adapted and most
desirable for the purpose of such farm as the
city must have to take care of and maintain
its poor, and the one most desirable and ad¬
vantageous for the city to purchase.
I would also most earnestly recommend
that action be taken by you and Councils at
the earliest day possible, for the reason that it
is imperative that the city shall soon acquire
some proper place for its buildings wherein to
keep its paupers, indigent and insane persons,
the time wherein we can retain possession of
the property heretofore held and used by the
city for such purposes is rapidly passing
away, leaving us but about one year longer
wherein to complete all necessary arrange¬
ments, including procuring plans, specifica¬
tions, approval of the authorities of the Com¬
monwealth of Pennsylvania, the erection .and
completion of buildings, and the removal of
the persons who are or may be a charge upon
t he charity of the city.
T am, with great respect,
Yours truly.

Chief Department of Charities.

HU8INF.HS FROM COMMON COUNCIL.
C. C. No. 112.
June 25th. 1892.
To the Select and Cbm moti Councils:
(4F.NTbF.MEN There is submitted to you
a joint-resolution, authorizing a settlement to
be made with Mrs. Isabel C. Sargeant. of
various claims held by the city for improve¬
ments made.
These claims aggregate the sum of $18,000,
and are for streets and sewers. She has offered,
through her counsel, to withdraw all excep¬
tions filed, and also her demand for trial by
Jury, and pay the city the sum of $ 14,000 cash
in sixty days after the approval of such resolu¬
tion. In consideration of which all claims by
the city are to be settled ami discontinued.
Tiie offer made, in my judgment, should be
accepted.
Tiie litigation is likely to he gmtt.ly protran¬
ted, and the result of it doubtful, 1 believe
the interests of tiie city will be subserved by
accepting her offer—will save heavy costs, and
put into the treasury in a very short- time a
large sum of money.
1 would therefore respectfully ask at your
hands the adoption of the resolution.
I am, with great respect,
Yours truly,
William C. Moreland,
City Attorney.
Which was read and received.
O. C. No. 413.
Joint-resolution of the Select and Common
Councils of the City of Pittsburgh, authorizing
the compromise and settlement of assessments

Whereas, there is in litigation between the
City of Pittsburgli and Mrs. Isabel C. Sargeant,
assessments against properties of Mrs. S. J.
Sargeant, otherwise Mrs. Isabel C. Sargeant
for the improvement of Negley avenue and
sewers on Stanton and Negley avenues and
Haights ltun. And whereas, there also exists
a claim of said City against properties now of
the same person (and some of which may be
assessed therefor in some other name) for the
improvement of Stanton avenue, claimed to
have been made under the Penn Avenue Act,
which is doubtful, which claims or assess¬
ments (includingStanton avenue compromise)
amount to $18,000. And whereas, there are
many doubtful and intricate questions in¬
volved in tiie matters in dispute involving
claims on the part of said Isabel C. Hargeant
for damages for taking her property. And
whereas, the attorney for said City, and the
attorney for tiie said Mrs. Sargeant believe it
beneficial to all parties—the City consenting to
tiie same—to compromise all of said cases by
the payment to said City of the sum of $14,000.
Therefore, resolved. That W. C. Moreland,
Esq., City Attorney, be and he is hereby
authorized and empowered to settle and dis¬
continue all suits and actions against said

Knurr. A resolution (S. C. No, 838) binding
the t *tty lo purchase (Venn Edward M. Bigelow,
Chief of the Department of Public Works, a
piece of pi*oi»crty, about five acres, adjoining
the High land Park, ami known as the Kite
property, for the sum of sixty-five thousand
($!k», 00O) dollars.
SEC’ONh. Articles of Agreement (S. C. No. 839)
by and between William Klinn and Edward
M. Bigelow, Chief of the Department of Public
Works, together vvith accompanying resolu¬
tions, binding the City to purchase from the
said William Klinn fourteen acres, more or
less, of land adjoining the Highland Park at
the price of $7,o34.1(i per acre, or for the total
sum of about JIUo/jOO.OO.
Thiki>. Articles of Agreement (S. C. No.
337) by and between Charles Lockhart, by his
attorney in fact, James II. Lockhart, of the
first part, ami Edward M. Bigelow, Chief of
the Department of Public Works, of the second
part, binding the City to purchase from the
said Charles Lockhart three pieces or tracts of
land adjoining or contiguous to Highland
Purk, and embracing about twenty-seven and
a half acres, at the price of #2,218.21 per acre, or
for the sum total of about $70,320.00.
These contracts contemplate the purchase of
alnnit forty-eight acres of additional land for
Highland Park at an aggregate expense of
two hundred and forty-one thousand ($241,000)
da liars.
They are not options, as some persons im¬
agine; they absolutely bind the City to take
the property at the price designated.
The resolution authorizes and directs the
controller to issue a certificate for a warrant
uiK>n the proper appropriation for the amount
of the purchase money, upon the approval of
the title to stdd property by the City Attorney.
There Is no appropriation out of which to pay
for this property. Such an expenditure was
not contemplated when the appropriations
for the present year were made. It is impos¬
sible, therefore, to issue a certificate for a
warrant for such a purpose upon any existing
appropriation. This is well known by all the
part ies concerned. It is admitted the money
cannot he paid now. The present owners of
the property are willing to wait until after the
passage of the next appropriation ordinance
which will have to provide an appropriation
to meet this indebtedness of $241,000.00.
Why not defer these purchases, then, until
your honorable l*>dy shall have made the
appropriation for the purpose? Under the
law the expenditures authorized by the appro¬
priation ordinance are limited to the revenues
of the city. Why, then, assume a liability
and create an indebtedness in violation of the
law? Under extraordinary circumstances,
and in wnne great emergency such action
might is* excusable, but there is neither ne¬
cessity nor public demand for the purchase of
these properties in tills irregular way.
The precedent estaldished by such action is
had. Hit is proper to create, at the present
time, an indebtedness of $241,000.00 to be pro¬
vided for in the appropriations of the coming
year, it will 1)€ Just as proper next year to
create an indebtedness of a million dollars to
l>e ]«iid out of appropriations of the year
thereafter. Even though such a policy were
in strict harmony with law, its evil tendency
must be apparent hi all.
But we have no right whatever, to bind the
city to ttie purchase of property unless the
money has been previously appropriated to
meet the jmyments. The piece of la ml known
as the Kite property ought, I believe, to belong
to the park, and, while [$tV),000J seems a very
la rge amount of money for so small a piece »f
property, I would nevertheless feel disposed
to approve its purchase if we had an appro
priation for the purpose. It lies at the High¬
land avenue entrance, and its acquisition for
park purposes would improve the drive-way,
and add materially to the beauty and value of
tiie park. If it is deemed advisable to buy
this property your honorable body can make
an appropriation for that purpose the coming
year. W hen the money is in the treasury the
purelia.se can be made in a legal way, if it
must be made. I may state very frankly that
at this time I am not hin favor of the purchase
of the other properties referred to in this com¬
munication.
Highland Park contains at present, I believe,
about two hundred and fifty acres, and is in
my judgement abundantly large to meet all the
requirements for the next ten years or more.
If there is a settled determination on the
part of your honorable body to buy additional
park property, I am strongly inclined to the
opinion that the wants and demands of the
South Side people are entitled to consideration.
They have paid their full proportion of the
expense attending the improvement and pur¬
chase of park properties which are, at least, in
a measure inaccessible to them. If we must
have additional land for park purposes the
interest and convenience of the South Side
citizens should, therefore, determine its
location.
We are informed, however, that both Sclien-
ley and Highland Parks are to be greatly
enlarged. Some enthusiastic individuals de¬
clare that the former shall extend to Murray
avenue and the latter to Bryant street. The
consummation of these magnificent projects
means the purchase of four or five hundred
acres of land at an expense of at least two
millions of dollars. If such purchases are
seriously contemplated the whole subject of
acquiring park property should be taken up
systematically and submitted to the people in
the form of a proposition for the issue of bonds
with which to meet the expense.
Such a course would give the people an
opportunity of being heard regarding exten¬
sive purchases of this character. If approved
by them the consequent indebtedness would
be distributed over a series of years and the
acquisition of park property finally adjusted
for all time to come.
Additional park property will necessitate
additional appropriations for its improvement
and these expenditures together with the pur¬
chase money will either increase the tax levy
or curtail the necessary expenses of the muni¬
cipality in other important matters.
It should be bourne in mind just here that
the city is annually spending large amounts
of money in the payment of rent for leased
property for the use of fire and police bureaus,
and this too upon the plea that we are
not in financial condition at the present
time to justify the purchase of the property
required.
This very year' the Department of Public
Safety is reconstructing buildings upon leased
property for a Central Station and an Engine
House at an expense to the city of not less
than fifty thousand dollars. As is well known,
only a few months before abandoning the
rented Station House in Diamond alley the
sum of four or five thousand dollars was ex¬
pended In improvements upon it.
110
If your honorable body desires to purchase
lno|K‘rty, would it not lie well to purchase it
lor these very important purposes and thus
relieve the City of the very considerable ex¬
pense attending the payment of rent, and at
the same time avoid the necessity of making
expensive and valuable improve incuts on
property which belongs to private individuals?
I may be permitted to state in this connec¬
tion that I am in favor of parks. I consider
them an incalculable blessing to the people of
a large and densely populated city. I believe
too, that in this city we should have several
parks, but I am not in sympathy with the
idea that every park should embrace a large
area of land. One park of considerable extent
is essential, in order that ample drive-ways
may be provided for the accommodation and
enjoyment of those who have vehicles aiul
wish to drive. For this purpose Schenley
Park answers every demand. It is just as
accessible to the people of Fast End as it is to
people of the old portion of the city or of the
South Side. ’
Those, therefore, who wish to drive can find
no more delightful place for such recreation
than Scheuley Park, But the great mass of
our people do not drive. When they visit the
park they go on foot or patronize the street
cars. W hen they reach the grounds they have
neither time nor disposition to travel over
three or four hundred acres of park property.
They want shade, they want rest.
I believe, therefore, in locating parks as near
the people as possible. A small park conven¬
ient to the people of a given locality is much
more desirable, much more beneficial, than a
five hundred-acre park, seven or eight miles
distant.
I am unable at the present time to see any
necessity for two large parks in this city. In
the years to come Kchenley will be the great
central park of Pittsburgh. If it is not large
enough it can be made larger after awhile.
Hut the Interests of the whole people will not
in my judgement be subserved by large addi¬
tions to Highland Park. It is at the extreme
eastern limit of the city and is far removed
from the great mass of working people who
constitute the very large proportion of our
population, and who need, more than all
others, the advantages, enjoyments and re¬
creation which parks afford.
I must not be understood as opposing High¬
land Park, because I am not. It serves a
grand purpose, hut 1 believe it to be sufficiently
large to meet all the requirements of those
who ran wii h any degree of convenience enjoy
its advantages.
I do not consider the present or the immed¬
iate future an opportune time for large
expenditures in park purchases, hut if such
purchases must be made I would earnestly
suggest that your honorable body consider
the advisability of providing a pleasure-
ground somewhere on the South Side,
before investing almost two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars in the manner proposed by
the accompanying contracts.
Kespectfu 11 y yours,
H. I. Gourley,
M ayor.

To the Select and Common Councils of the City

Gentlemen 'There are but ten sanitary
policemen in the Department of Public Safety

were thirteen inspectors, and the extensive
rapid growth ana development of the city,

wards, renders this force inadequate for any¬
thing like proper sanitary inspection and reg¬
ulation of sanitary affairs.
I would respectfully petition and request
your Honorable Bodies to pass a resolution
authorizing the appointment of four addi¬
tional sanitary policemen. lam confident
that there is a great need of probably more
than four, but for the present I will endeavor
to do the work with four additional men.

No. 524.
Mayok’s Office. 1
Pittsburgh, Pa., October 81, 1892. /
To the President an d Members of Select Council.
Gentlemen:— I respectfully return to your
honorable body without my approval S. C,
Bill No. 398. “An Ordinance granting to the
Rellefleld Street. Railway Company, its suc¬
cessors, lessees and assigns the right to enter
upon, use and occupy a certain street, avenue
and highway for the purpose of its railway,
and to lease its franchises and property or
either.”
This ordinance confers upon the Bellefield
Street Railway Company, which is a branch
of the Duquesne Traction Company, the right
to construct a double track railway on Centre
avenue, from Neville street to Herron avenue.
On the same day that this measure was
present to Council, the Central Passenger Rail¬
way Company introduced an ordinance ask¬
ing for the privilege of extending Its railway
io the East End by way of Center avenue.
Both ordinances were on the same day re¬
ferred by your honorable body to the Com¬
mittee on Corporations. This one was
promptly considered by the committee, re¬
turned with a favorable recommendation,
and passed by Councils. On the other, no
action has yet been taken by your committee.
The committee has not returned it to your
honorable body. You have not had the op
portunity of comparing the two ordinances
and of determining which is the more bene¬
ficial to the general public.
I trust you will pardon me for discussing a
measure not officially before me, but I cannot
present my odjections to this ordinance in a
clear and satisfactory manner without mak¬
ing some reference to the ordinance of the Cen¬
tral Passenger Railway Company proposing
to give the city another continuous railway to
East Liberty.
Both these franchises cannot be granted,
The one necessarily excludes the other.
Which, then, will be the more advantageous
to the city? Which, will be the more useful
to our people? These are questions which it
devolves upon us to answer.
T believe another through ling of railway to
East Liberty is needed now, and will become
an absolute necessity in the. immediate future.
Any citizen who daily travels to and from
the East End knows by experience and obser¬
vation that every evening one-ha If the people
who patronize the Fifth avenue and Duquesne
roads are compelled to stand in crowded cars
on their way to their homes.
Another continuous line to the East End
would relieve this pressure and enable citizens
who pay their fares to enjoy the convenience
of seats.
The ordinance of the Central Passenger Rail¬
way Company, proposes to supply Just such a
railway, thus enabling citizens to make the
complete trip either way, between Wood street
and Penn avenue on payment of one fare.
Surely such a road would be infinitely more
useful to the general public than the mere
fragment of a railway contemplated by this
ordinance.
The one would be a public benefit, the other
would be a permanent obstruction midway in
a great thoroughfare to prevent for all time
the construction of a competing road.
Let ns suppose this Bellefield railway built.
A resident of Herron Hill desires to come into
the city. He enters a car, pays his fare, rides
down the hill to Herrbn avenue and is dumped
off. He then takes passage on the Central
Passenger Road, pays another fare and con¬
tinues on his way to the city. The citizen is
put to the expense of paying two fares, and
suffers, besides, the inconvenience of changing
cars, simply because he is compelled to pat¬
ronize two different and opposing roads.
Such an arrangement is certainly not in the
interest of the people for whose convenience
and accommodation railways are supposed to
be built.
We are told, however, that the resident of
Herron Hill can ride the other way on the
Bellefteld road to Neville street, thence by
Craig street road to Fifth avenue, where he
can be transferred to the Fifth avenue road
and thus reach 'the city by the payment of one
fare.
Hut would not this be a circuitous route by
which to get to the business center of the city?
Would not the time consumed in making the
trip be more than double that required by the
shorter and more direct route by way of Center
avenue?
If“ lime is money,” should not time be con¬
sidered an important element in providing
facilities for carrying citizens to and from
their homes?
The Central Passenger Railway Company, I
am informed, already has by express agree¬
ment from the Duquesne Traction Company,
the privilege of using the tracks of the Craig
Street Hailway Company on Center avenue
eastwardly a distance of about a mile to
N eg ley avenue.
The construction of live-sixths of a mile of
road from Herron avenue to Neville street, and
ofSoOO feet eastwardly on Center avenue form
Aegley avenue would, therefore, give the said
< entral Passenger Railway Company a con¬
tinuous line of road from Wood street to
Liberty Hall.
Travel, on the cable and electric roads, to
and from the Fast F.nd is increasing every
day, and it will only be a very short time
until additional facilities will be required to
carry the immense number of people who will
lie located in that part of our city.
Is It wise, then, to give up a part of Centre
avenue to a company that does not. propose
to give the city a through road to ihe Fast
End and by so doing establish an insuperable
barrier against the consummation of such a
project in the future?
As between these two companies asking
permission to occupy Center avenue. I firmly
believe the interests of the public will be best
subserved by granting the franchise to the
company that promises facilities for through
travel.
If my position be correct, then, it becomes
our duty as the representatives of the people
to refuse the rights and privileges asked for by
the Bellefleld Company in this ordinance.
I have other objections to the ordinance.
Recently, as you know, Center avenue has, at
the expense of the abutting property owners,
been paved with block stone.
The ordinance should therefore, contain a
provision requiring the company to pay for
the materials used in paving the seven or
eight thousand square yards of the street
which will be occupied by the railway, sliould
the ordinance be finally passed, and which,
under the provisions.of the general ordinance
the company will be required to pave.
The ordinance passed a short time ago grant¬
ing the Citizens Passenger Railway Company
privilege to construct a railway on Franks-
town avenue, recently paved by the property
owners, contains such a provision and there is
no good reason why a similar requirement
should not be embodied in this measure.
I may say here that the parties interested in
the Bellefield Railway Company tell me that
the omission of this provision was an over¬
sight, and that they are not only satisfied, but
desire, to have it inserted in the ordinance.
The cost of the material referred to will
amount, approximately, to $12,000 or $13,000.
The ordinance should contain also a provi¬
sion requiring that the railway shall be con¬
structed within a specified time.
I know the Act of Assembly says that work
shall, in good faith, be commenced within one
year and completed within two years from i he
approval of the ordinance, but this provision
is simply directory.
It is something like the Legislative enact¬
ment that directs our appropriations to be
made during the month of January or Feb¬
ruary in each year, and yet we know our ap¬
propriation ordinance is never passed until
late in the month of March.
In conclusion permit me to state that cable
and electric roads have been a great benefit to
ourcity, and this fact constitutes an unanswer¬
able argument why we should not erect
breastworks to prevent other companies from
building roads and competing for the patron¬
age of the public, especially In cases where
such roads are an acknowledged necessity.
Respectfully Yours,
H. I. Oouklxsy,
Mayor.

Pittsburgh, October 11, 1892.
To the Select and Common Councils of the City
of Pittsburgh:
Gentlemen In preparing estimates for
the annual appropriation for the Bureau of
Police, the late Superintendent thereof,
Gamble Weir, made an error in the number
of patrolmen, estimating the same at 248 men,
where as the law and ordinance allows 251,
thereby omitting the salary of three patrolmen
at 8912.50 each per annum, making a shortage
in said appropriation of $2,787.50.
After consultation with the City Controller
and Mayor, I am advised to petition your
honorable bodies to make a transfer of $2,737.50
from the Contingent Fund of the City of Pitts¬
burgh to the Bureau of Police, to provide for
the paying of these patrolmen and correcting
said error, and l will ever pray.
Respectfully submitted,
J. O. Brown,
Chief Department of Public Safety.
Which was read and received.
Also,
No. 578. Resolved, Thai the Control¬
ler be and lie is hereby authorized and direc¬
ted to transfer$2,737,50 from Appropriation No.
19, Contingent Fund to Appropriation No. o,
Bureau of Police, to make up deficiency In
Appropriation No.5 caused by error in estim¬
ating number of police patrolmen.
Which was read.
And the rule having been suspended the
resolution was read a second and third times
and finally passed by a two-thirds vote.
Also,

Pittsburgh, November 14,1892.
To the Select and Common Councils of the City
of Pittsburgh:
GentlemenAh Chief of the Department
of Public Safety, I would respectfully submit
to your honorable bodies, articles of agree¬
ment made the 10th day of November 1892,
from H. F. Olnhausen fora lot or piece of land
situate in the Twenty-eighth ward, of the City
of Pittsburgh, a full description of which is
contained in articles of agreement from said
Olnhausen and hereto attached. The con¬
sideration therein being the sum of live
thousand dollars ($5,000). Also, articles of
agreement from John Siebert to the City of
Pittsburgh, for a piece of land in the Twenty-
aighth ward, a full description of said lot being
contained in said articles of agreement and
hereto attached, for the sum of seven thousand
dollars, ($7,000).
Both of these agreements are options on said
pieces of land, expiring April 1, 1893, and, upon
a full and complete investigation, I am
satisfied that the price therein asked is reason¬
able, and that the land therein described is
fully worth the sum of money specified in
said agreement.. That the said lots are well
adapted for location of police station on the
Houth Hide, being centrally located, affording
a good and s in table site for police station,
being sufficiently large for the wants of that
section of the city for many years to come.
I further certify that the old police station
in the Twenty-eighth ward is wholly inade¬
quate for police purposes, and is in a dilapida¬
ted and dangerous condition, making it
absolutely necessary that the city secures a
suitable piece of land and erect thereon a
station house in that section of the city.
I would, therefore, ask yonr honorable
bodies to ratify by joint resolution hereto
attached, tills agreement, so that these options
can be made valid and binding until the first
day of April, A. D. 1893.
Respectfully yours,
J. O. Brown,
Chief Department of Public Safety.

Mayor’s Office. )
Pittsburgh, Pa., November 14, 1892.)
To the President and Members of Select Council:
Gentlemen: —Permit me to return to your
honorable body without my approval the
accompanying resolution authorizing and
directing tho Mayor to sign for and on behalf
of the City of Pittsburgh, a petition for the
widening and opening of Diamond street,
between Smithfleldstreet and Liberty avenue.
This resolution evidently assumes that there
is, somewhere, a petition for the widening and
opening of Diamond street between the points
designated.
But where is this petition? Who has pos¬
session of it? Have Councils any official
knowledge of such a document? Has it been
presented to your honorable body? If so,
what is the exact nature of the petition? It
has not been officially presented to me nor do
I believe it has been officially presented to
your honorable body.
How then am I to know just what petition I
am directed to sign ?
Your clerk has, in his official capacity,
kindly presented to me your resolution, but
who is to submit the petition itself, and by
what official evidence am I to determine it to
be the instrument by which you would have
me bind the city ?
I have been informed, but not officially, of a
petition for the widening and opening of
Diamond street, between Smith field street and
the west side of the Diamond market build¬
ings, but this cannot be the document referred
to by the resolution, because the resolution
says, “ A petition for the widening and open¬
ing of Diaihond street, between Smith held
street and Liberty avenue.”
It would be exceedingly unfortunate if the
.Mayor should make the unhappy mistake of
signing some petition not contemplated by
the resolution. To avoid any such contin¬
gency, would it not be well to have the petition
you would have the Mayor sign accompany
your resolution of instruction? Again, the
petition which lias been, unofficially, brought
to ray notice sets forth that the owners of prop¬
erty abutting on Diamond street respectfully
petition your honorable bodies for the passage
of an ordinance authorizing the widening and
opening of said street, &c.
If the Mayor Is to sign on behalf of the city
for the widening and opening of this street,
there must be property somewhere, under the
ownership of the city, abutting on the street*
If so, where is this property?
I am aware that the city has control of the
two market houses and the ground occupied by
them, but I am unable to discover that this
property in any manner abuts on Diamond
street.
If the property does not abut on Diamond
street, then why should the Mayor be instruc¬
ted to sign on behalf of the city for the widen¬
ing of said street? The widening of Diamond
street and the opening of a fifty-foot street
through the center of the two market houses
are two different and distinct things. The one
affects directly the owners of abutting property
and should be determined by them. The other
is a matter which directly interests the city
and should be determined by it.
If the city desires to cut a street through
these buildings, and has the power to do so, it
is certainly not necessary for it to petition
itself for the passage of an ordinance author¬
izing said work to be done.
Such action would seem just about as absurd
as that of an individual petitioning himself for
a road through property over which he had
exclusive control.
The legislative power of the city is vested in
Councils, and while they may possibly have
the right to legislate a street through the
market houses, 1 have no cognizance of any
law which authorizes them to instruct the
chief executive to petition them for and on
behalf of the city to execute such work.
Again, should I sign a petition as directed by
this resolution I might by so doing place my¬
self in the anomolous position of asking your
honorable bodies to pass an ordinance to
which the best interests of the city might
ultimately require me to interpose obejetions.
I will not, therefore, permit myself to be
placed in a position that will in any manner
Interfere with the free and unrestricted exer¬
cise of my own judgment when the time comes
for me to pass upon tiie measure which this
resolution would have me petition your
honorable bodies to enact.
Furthermore. I am not entirely satisfied
that Councils have tiie legal right to open a
street tiirough the market houses in the Dia¬
mond square ; but if they have tiie power to
do sd. before petitioning for, or committing
myself to, such an improvement, I should
want to be satisfied that it can be made with¬
out serious detriment to the market facilities
of the city.
If the majority in number and interest of
abutting property owners petition for the
widening of Diamond street proper, I have no
objection to the improvement, provided it can
be made without placing the damages on the
city.
But I am opposed to what appears to me a
deliberate attempt to invoke the aid of the
city in legalizing a petition that does not
contain the signatures of a majority in number
and interest of the bona fide property owners
on the line of the street.
If the petition meets the requirements of the
law the signature of the Mayor on behalf of
the city is not needed. If the majority with¬
hold their signatures, their rights should not
be overridden by the method proposed by this
resolution.
Respectfully submitted,
H. I. Gourley,
Mayor.
Which was read and received.

Pittsburgh, December 31, 1892.
Hon. H. I. Goukuey,
Mayor City of Pittsburgh.
Dear Sir:— Complying with the Acts of
Assembly and Ordinances of Councils, I have
the pleasure of presenting to yoii the report of
the expenditures and receipts of the Depart¬
ment of Public Works for the ten months
ending November 30th, 1892.
If desired, we will cheerfully furnish you
with detailed accounts of items shown, with
pay rolls and vouchers for ttie same, together
with any other information.
The amounts remaining to the credit of the
several Bureaus in the Department, will with
careful management, meet ail demands.
In making the estimates for the several
Bureaus for the incoming year I have endea¬
vored to keep them down to the lowest pos¬
sible limit, knowing that with experience
careful management, new and improved
machinery, we will be able to successfully
fneet all the reauirements for the next year.
In the Bureau of Engineering and Surveys I
have asked for fifty-eight thousand dollars,
being an increase of twenty thousand dollars
over the appropriation of 1892, that being
the amount it will cost to properly conduct
the Bureau, owing to the great amount of
work to be performed.
The amount asked for to run the entire De¬
partment for the year 1893 is one hundred and
seventy-seven thousand, three hundred and
seventy-six dollars and sixty cents (3177,376.601
less than the appropriation for the year 1892.
Very respectfully,
E. M. Bigelow,
Chief Department of Public Works.

No. 706.
Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan. 28, 1893.
To the Select and Common Councils:
Gentlemen;— During the past fiscal year
the Bureau of Health had extraordinary and
unlooked forexpenses. First, for eight months
during the year the city was afflicted with
sinaUiiox, and for that length of time the
Municipal hospital was occupied by one or
more smallpox patients, greatly increasing
the hospital account for nurses and main-
tainance, and very greatly increasing our vac¬
cination account, running the same several
thousand dollars over the amount estimated
for that purpose in last year's appropriation.
Second, during the time the city was thread
ened with cholera the garbage furnace was
worked and taxed to its utmost capacity, and
the fuel account increased something like
$800 over what was used in ordinary condition
of affairs. For these causes there is a de¬
ficiency in the Bureau of Health of $3,000, and
under advice and direction of the City Con¬
troller, would respectfully ask for a resolution
transferring that amount of money from the
Bureau of Fire to the Bureau of Health,
There is, also, a deficiency in the Bureau of
Police, caused, as your honors will remember
I stilted in a petition some weeks ago, by a
clerical error of #2737.50 in making up the esti¬
mates for salaries last year. Your honors
passed a resolution transferring that amount
from the contingent fund, but tne condition of
said contingent fund was such that only
$1,737.50 could be transferred.
In the building of the Central Police station
on Oak alley there was an appropriation of
something like $1,200 lor the building account,
while, as a fact, owing to the expensive iron
work in the cells, they alone cost something
like $9,000, causing a shortage in this account
of *1,500.
I would, therefore, respectfully ask that you
pass a resolution transferring, as per the ad¬
vice and approval of the City Controller, the
sum of $3,500 from the Bureau of Fire to the
Bureau of Police. These transfers will enable
these bureaus to fully and completely liqui¬
date any indebtedness against them, and there
is a sufficient balance unused in the Bureau of
Fire for these purposes.
And I will ever pray.
Respectfully yours,
J. 0, Brown,
Chief Department of Public Safety.
Which was read and received.

No. 706.

REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC
SAFETY.
Department of Public Safety, ^
Pittsburgh, Feb, ], 1893. j
To Select and Common Councils of the City of
Pittsburgh:
Gentlemen- The records, reports and fi¬
nancial statement for the fiscal year ending
January 31, 1893, are herewith submitted to
you and constitute my fifth annual report as
Chief of the Department of Public Safety.
I have endeavored to have the Superintend¬
ents of the various bureaus make full and spe¬
cific statements of all matters pertaining to
their respective bureaus, and would respect¬
fully ask your attention to tho clear and com¬
prehensive outline embraced within the scope
of these various reports and exhibits.
I desire, however, to call your special at-
tent Ion to the Bureau of Health. The most
important question
Bureau of Health. with which that bur-
e;iu had to deal
during the past year was preparing for the
advent of cholera which imminently threaten¬
ed the country.
Upon receipt of news of the danger addition¬
al active measures were at once resorted to.
House to house Jnspect-
Measures A dopted. ions were made, prompt
abatement of nuisances
was insisted u]>on, and the removal or correc¬
tion of conditions which might have a tend-
ency to propagate the disease were effected.
In a majority of instances this was willingly
done, or at least required but little persuasion,
but. in a few it became necessary to invoke the
aid of the law by prosecution.
At my request your honorable bodies set aside
a special appropriation of seven thousand dol¬
lars for use in the emergency. From this
amount was paid the services of special in¬
spectors performing duty' on railroad trains ;
of additional sanitary police; the cost of erec¬
tion of an emergency hospital; the establish¬
ment. of a bacteriological laboratory; the em¬
ployment of several steamboats in removing
accumulated filth from the mouths of the
main sewers; the purchase, distribution and
application of disinfectants, and the adoption
and carrying out of many other important
sanitary measurers.
In addition thereto was the printing and
distribution of fifty thou wind circulars pre¬
pared by the State Board of Health relative to
285
the disease, its care, ami the preventive
measures necessary to l>e adopted and applied.
After a careful review of the situation as it
then existed, I feel confident that had cholera
appeared here, we would have been in quite
us good condition to combat It as most other
cities.
That the disease did not gain a foothold in
this country was probably due more to good
luck than good management. After the ex¬
perience of the past year, and resulting from
that experience, there certainly is a great and
growing distrust regarding the efficiency of
rotate and municipal maritime quarantine
methods and measures as they then existed
and as they now exist.
Congress is at present considering the ques¬
tion of providing for and establishing national
quarantine to replace,
National Legislation . or at least to supple¬
ment that of the States.
It is certainly to be hoped that such measures
will be adopted by that body, and effectively
executed, as will prevent the introduction of
the disease. In view of these facts I would
respectfully recommend the adoption, by your
honorable bodies, of a strong resolution or
memorial asking Congress to pass such an
Act relating to this subject as will insure im¬
munity from the introduction of this dread
disease from other countries.
But while the National and State author¬
ities may do all that is possible toward off
this calamity, yet a very
Responsibility of grave responsibility rests
Local Authorities, upon the local and mu¬
nicipal authorities, and
upon the public, collectively and individu¬
ally, as well.
By far the most Important and far reaching
problem connected with our local sanitation
is the proper and prompt
Garbage Question, collection, removal and
disposal of kitchen gar¬
bage and offal. No other question has such a
direct bearing and influence upon the health
of our city as this one; and apparently no
other subject is so little considered or under¬
stood.
At present, as in the past, the collection and
removal of this material, when removed at
all, is left in the hands of a few persons, a ma¬
jority of whom are irresponsible, and, as a
consequence, its removal is conducted in a
slip-shod and generally unsatisfactory man¬
ner. It is true tnat during the season when
its effects are most dangerous, much of this
material is carried to and destroyed in the
single garbage furnace owned and operated
by the city, but at least four additional furn¬
aces of a similar character are necessary to
dispose of all this refuse.
The greater portion of it is still deposited in
the rivers or on their shores, and on vacant
lots and dumps, where it remains a constant
menace to life and health. This should not*
be so. With the great danger of the coming
season staring us in the face something
should be done, something must be done to re¬
move these plague spots which exist at almost
every householder’s door.
Systematic and perfect methods of collec¬
tion, removal and disposal are the only safe¬
guards.
This subject has been brought to the atten¬
tion of your honorable bodies in several dif¬
ferent forms during the past ten or fifteen
years by means of proposed ordinances, re¬
ports and special papers, but nothing practi¬
cal has been accomplished.
A short time since an ordhmnre Mi ,
this subject was very carefully yrtparvi
submitted to you for adoption, but uplu-
time no action has been taken.
I embrace this opportunity of dlrertlufr
special attention to this all-importaotiib
and urge upon you the necessity for fc*v
and speedy action.
Upon you, gentlemen of Councils, radi •
grave responsibility. With you 1 lean*

The order and peace of the city imr >

In closing my report I desire to

Invoke a continuance oljr*'

Mayor’s Ofkick, \
Pittsiutroh, Pa., March fith, 1893.}
To the Honorable the Select and Common Coun¬
cils of the City of Pittsburgh.
Sirs— At the urgent demand of a large num¬
ber of worthy citizens, oil November 80,1892,
by a communication of that date, in the exer¬
cise of the supervisory power of the Mayor I
directed the Chief of the Department of Public
Safety, by his police, “to enforce the law
against all houses of ill-repute in the city.” A
copy of tiie letter conveying my directions on
tins subject, together with the enclosure trans¬
mitted herewith, is hereunto attached, marked
“A.”
Immediately upon receiving this direction
the Chief of the Department of Public Safety
issued an order to the Superintendent of Police
commanding him “to close and keep closed
all houses of ill-repute in this city.” A copy
of the order referred to is hereto attached,
marked “IV"
He at the same time issued to his subordi¬
nates a verbal order which he communicated
to me in person, to notify the keepers of such
houses to have their Inmates out and their
houses closed by 10 o’clock in the evo.ung of
the day on which his orders were issued.
In response to these orders from the Chief,
the Superintendent of Police instructed his in¬
spectors and detectives to close all such houses
on the same day. This summary action on
the part of the Chief of the Department of Pub¬
lic Safety was wholly without warrant of law,
and was necessarily contrary to my direction,
which simply called upon him “to enforce the
law against all houses of ill-repute in the city.’”
On December 1,1892, in a public address to a
large number of the women who had thus been
summarily thrown into the streets, I de¬
nounced this cruel and illegal action of the
Chief of the Department of Public Safety, as it
deserved. Thereupon the Chief, on December
2,1892, issued an order to the Superintendent
of Police not “to eject or molest any of the in¬
mates of the houses of prostitution until his
Honor (the Mayor) shall indicate the date at
which he desires his order of November 80th
to go into execution.” This latter order has
never been officially communicated to me, but
I herewith enclose a copy, marked “C,” taken
from the newspapers of the city.
This order having been called to my atten¬
tion by Its publication in the newspapers, I
addressed a letter to the Chief, under date of
December 3, 1892, again commanding him to
enforce the law. A copy of tins letter is Here¬
with enclosed, marked “D.”
To this the Chief replied in a coraraunlca"
tion, under date of December 6, 1892, which I
herewith submit, marked “E.”
I replied to this communication under date
of December 7, 1892, again urging upon the
Chief the performance of his duty in the en¬
forcement of the law. A copy of my reply I
enclose herewith, marked “F.” To this I have
never received any response by word or act.
The Chief’s order to the Superintendent of
Police, of December2,1H92, above referred to,
directing him not‘ to eject or molest any of
the inmates of the houses of prostitution” still
remains in force, so far as I have been in¬
formed, and under its protection these houses
openly, notoriously and defiantly carry on
their infamous traflic, with the full knowledge
and consent of the Chief of the Department of
Public Safety, the jolice of the city being ex¬
pressly and publicly commanded not to mo¬
lest them.
I have requested the City Attorney for bis
opinion as to my power to compel compliance
by theChiefof the Departmentof Public Safety
with my directions. I enclose herewith a copy
of the opinion, marked “G.” Upon an exami¬
nation of it you will lind that I am advised l
have no power to compel obedience to my di¬
rections, and that it would seem to be my duty
to submit the matter to Councils. That the
act of .June U, 1887, In relation to the govern¬
ment of cities of the second class, under which
our present city government is organized,
should give the Mayor the power to direct pub¬
lic officers in the line of their duty under the
law and the ordinances and yet purposely
withheld from him any power or means by
which to compel obedience to such directions,
is an anomaly in the art of government, but It
is unquestionably true,
Ky Section 2ft, of the Act of April ft, 18«7, it Is
provided that
“Any officer or agent appointed by or under
the authority of City Councils rnay be removed
from office by a concurrent vote of the major¬
ity of all the members of each Council.”
In view of this clear power vested in you,
and which is the only power to compel de¬
cency of conduct in the Criief of departments,
I beg yon seriously to consider the conduct of
the chief of the Department of Public Safety,
as above detailed.
The Commonwealth has enacted:
“If any person shall keep and maintain a
common bawdy house or place for the practice
of fornication, or shall knowingly let or demise
a house or part thereof to be so occupied, he or
she shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on
conviction be sentenced to pay a fine not ex¬
ceeding one thousand dollars and to undergo
an imprisonment not exceeding two years."
Purdon’s Digest, 413.
In addition to ttiis law of the Commonweal ill
for the suppression of such evil, your honor¬
able bodies, in pursuance of power expressly
given, have long since enacted an ordinance
empowering the police to arrest the keepers of
houses of Ill-fame and nil persons found there¬
in, and providing for their proper trial and
P unishment before the magistrates of the city.
'his ordinance, of course, only empowers ar¬
rests to be made in a legal manner, and, in the
opinion of the City Attorney, herewith sub¬
mitted, is mandatory, imposing an imperative
duty upon the police department to execute its
provisions.
By the conduct of the Chief of the Depart¬
ment of Public Hafety, above shown, that
which the law-making power of the State has
declared to be a crime is now protected and de¬
fended by the sworn guardians of the law; the
imperative duty imposed upon the police by
the ordinance of your honorable bodies is set
at naught and deliberately repudiated; and
the directions of the Mayor, given in pursu¬
ance of lawful authority, are publicly defied.
The State has declared the keeping of a house
of ill-fame a crime. The Chief declares It a
necessary evil to be protected, under police
surveillance. Your honorable bodies, speak¬
ing for the City of Pittsburgh, In pursuance of
the law, have commanded the city police toar-
rest the keeper and the inmates of all such
houses. The Chief has commanded the police
not to molest them. The law gives the Mayor
power to direct the Chief in the line of his duty
under the law and the ordinances. The Chief
defies the directions and contemptuously re¬
fuses any obedience.
This conduct on the part of the Chief is not
the result of temper, or of an ill-considered
resolution, hut Is the result of a deliberate and
long-formed intention. This is manifest from
his so-called “policy,” as set forth in his An¬
nual Report to your honorable bodies, under
date of February 1, 1890. In that report he
«iys:
“I have no hesitation in saying it (prostitu¬
tion) is a vice as old as the world, and I have
no hesitation in saying that it is probably a
police necessity, and one of those conditions of
human society that in great centers of popula¬
tion, like that of Pittsburgh, hail better be tol¬
erated, regulated and controlled by police sur¬
veillance rather than to attempt to crush it
out.”
His refusal to obey my directions, and his
order to the police not to molest this vice, arc
in pursuance of this deliberately formed policy
so long ago adopted,
I need hardly remind you that an officer
whose sworn duty it Is to execute the law has
no rig’llt to know any policy but the policy of
the law. It Is only the supremest presump¬
tion in a policeman to erect himself into a cen¬
sor of the policy so clearly defined by the law
and the ordinances that lie is sworn to exe¬
cute, to reverse the policy of the State thus ex¬
pressed, to abolish the law, and to set up to be
a rule unto himself. It is certainly not his
function to speculate upon social theories of
hlsovvn, and toiKiopt them for the guidance
of his conduct, when they are in violent con¬
flict with the law that it is his duty to execute.
It is not worth while, therefore, and would be
presumptuous, to discuss the merits of the the¬
ory adopted by the Chief of the Department of
Public Safety for dealing with this vice. His
theory, however. Is an utter abomination. To
only one feature of it I need call your atten¬
tion. If these houses are to be tolerated the
degree of toleration, the subjects of toleration,
are left wholly to the will of the.Chief. The
proprietress who meets his approval can con-
ducther business in safety; one who meets his
disapproval Is at once under the condemna¬
tion of the law. When the criminal to be tol¬
erated is left to the arbitrary selection of the
Chief, the motives governing the selection are
secret and cannot be fathomed or exposed.
This theory, tltnrefore, can easily be made the
convenient cloak for the levying of blackmail
by the police department. It may be that a
house that pays assessments to further the i>o-
lltical endsof tlieofficer in power may do busi¬
ness, and one that refuses such tribute maybe
suppressed. The price of conducting the Infa¬
mous traffic may thus he made a corruption
fund to debauch the voter and perpetuate the
power of the dictator who grants at will the
privilege to offend against the law without fear
of punishment Such a result, of course, is
the inevitable result of the conduct of an of¬
ficer who pretends to tolerate, regulate ami
control by police surveillance a vice that the
law denounces as a crime to be punished.
The only security of theeommunlty is in the
uniform, impartial and vigorous enforcement
of the law. When the day comes, if it ever
does come, that an executive officer can select,
from the catalogue of crimes, such as are to be
tolerated, regulated and controlled, in his dis¬
cretion, and such as are to be prosecuted and
punished, the time of absolute and corrupt
despotism la at hand, A more Impudent as¬
sumption of power on the part of a policeman
can hardly be imagined than is involved in
the publicly declared purpose of the Chief of
the Department of Public Safety.
The anchor of popular government is loyally
to the law. Wilful, contemptuous defiance of
law anil legal authority must necessarily end
in anarchy or absolute despotism. Such con¬
duct on the part of the humblest citizen is to
be deplored; much more is it to be regretted
and resented in one entrusted by the people to
enforce the law, and sworn to disc]large bis
duty with fidelity. Such conduct, in a public
olliccr. setting forth a most demoralizing ex¬
ample to the community, demands the se¬
verest condemnation. It is time now to deter¬
mine whether or not a policeman can, with
impunity, defy a statute expressing the high¬
est moral purpose of the State, the ordinance
of Councils, and the lawful directions of his
superior officer. If it lie so, we can only trust
a self-governing people to find a remedy.
I most urgently call upon you to vindicate
your own character and the character of our
community by promptly punishing flic con¬
tumacious defiance of all law and legal au¬
thority exhibited in the conduct of the Chief
of the Department of Public Safety in the sub¬
ject matter herein referred to.
I urgently move you to exercise your power
to remove from office a recreant official, and
to direct the City Attorney to co-operate with
the District Attorney in securing his indict¬
ment and conviction in the Criminal Court.
Yours truly,
FI. I. OoriiLEV,
Mayor.

To the Select anti Common Council* of the City

Gentlemen I would respectfully present
for your favorable consideration the bill of $60
for telephone used In the office of Physician
and Registrar of the Bureau of Health. This
telephone is very necessary to said bureau.
We had smallpox in the Municipal hospital
continuously for about eight months last year,
and it was important to have direct commu¬
nication with the physician of the bureau by
telephone, and as this contract was not in¬
cluded fn our annual advertisement for tele¬
phones for the department, I would respect¬
fully ask you to pass a resolution to pay the
same. The amount claimed by the telephone
company is the same included in our contract
for other telephones for like service.
I also present bill of W. J, Glllmore & Co.
for payment for disinfectant utfcd by the Bu-
rean of Health during the cholera scare. Mr.
Glllmore In making his bid, by an error bid
ten cents a gallon for phenyle, whereas the ac¬
tual wholesale price was 81.10, thus causing a
direct loss to Mr. Glllmore for each gallon fur¬
nished the city, and injustice he should be re¬
imbursed for one hundred gallons used. His
bill of 875 Is just and equitable, and I would
respectfully ask your honorable bodies to pay
the same.
Very respectfully yours,
J. O. Brown,
Chief Department of Public Safety.

BUSINESS FROM COMMON COUNCIL.
C. C. No. 1079.
Mayor’s Office, 1
Pittsburgh, Pa., March 13th, 1893.)
To the President and Members of Common
Council;
GRNTtEME^;-1 beg leave to return to your
honorable body without, my approval‘“An
Ordinance (Bill No. 1007, C. C.,) levying taxes
and assessing water rents for the fiscal year
beginning February 1st, 1893.”
The first section of this Ordinance says:
“For the purpose of providing sufficient reve¬
nue to meet the ordinary expenses of the city*
to |>ay the interest on outstanding bonds and
to discharge all other liabilities "now due or
which may become payable during the said
year 1893, the taxes shall be and are hereby
levied and assessed upon all property and
ot her objecls of taxation as follows.
This section is not true. TheOrdinanee does
not levy sufficient taxes to meet the expendi¬
tures proposed In Bill No. 100(1. It is true that
the revenues are figured out on paper, but
any person at nil familiar with the history of
past appropriations cannot tint know (hut the
visionary and extravagant receipts estimated
in this Ordinance will not materialize in the
year 1893. With appropriations aggregating
$3,000,000 and a tax rate of 12 mills there was a
shortage of $315,000 in round numbers at the
close of 1892; and yet It is proposed in this Or¬
dinance to provide the revenue necessary to
meet, an expenditure of $5,292,280 88 in the year
1893 with a tax rate of li mills.
That is to say', the appropriations are in¬
creased almost 4300,OOu, while the revenue
from the city tax is reduced 4130,000.
In the first part of tills statement there is
nothing remarkable History is simply re¬
pealing itself. The expenses are climbing
higher and higher. The total appropriations
for 1893 are more Ilian $2,000,000 in excess of
the appropriations of 188$, or an increase of 02 ;
per cent, in five years, but what Is remarkable i
Is the reduction in the revenue from property
tax. Not since the organization of our new
system of government, has there been such a
showing. In some cases the millnge has been j
reduced, but under such circumstances the ;
valuations have gone up sufficiently to insure j
Hu Increase year by year in the revenue from *
property tax.
It would seem that in tills Ordinance a des¬
perate effort had been made to redeem the j
pledge set fortli In a circular to the taxpayers
of the city on the eve of the recent election by'
the distinguisliedOlialrmanol the late Repub¬
lican Campaign Committee.
To fuifii that promise, to reduce the reve¬
nues and yet increase the expenditures re¬
quired astute financiering, and involved an
arithmetical principle entirely novel, and
which should be incorporated in the text
liooks of our public schools.
If we had a deficiency of $515,000 at the close
of 1892, with a property tax of $130,000 in excess
of i hat of the present year, and with approprla- ;
tlons aggregating $300,000 less than the appro- i
priations of the present year, what will the
harvest be at the close of 1893 ?
By inflating the estimated receipts outside
of the property tax, it Is not a difficult matter i
to make the revenues appear equal to the pro¬
posed expenditures of the city; but will these
fanciful figures produce tangible results?
An examination of the Appropriation Ordi¬
nance of 1892 shows that the estimated reve¬
nues other than those from city tax aggre¬
gated the sum of $‘2,119,802.50. Of this sum
there was collected during the year $1,973,-
424.14, thus leavinga shortage in the estimated
receipts from the sources to which I refer of
«118,878 3fl.
In the Ordinance before me the revenues ex¬
pected from these same sources are fixed at
$2,512,288.8(5. This Is an Increase of $422,184.38
over the estimates of last year, and exceeds i
the amount collected during 1892 by $568,802,74. |
In order to realize these estimates we shall
have to receive just about- thirty per cent.
more money during the present year than
was collected from the same source in 1892. Is
it reasonable to expect this? 1 do not believe
it is.
Should we only collect an amount equal to
the sum collected in 1892, vve would have a re¬
sulting shortage in the estimated revenues
from sources referred to of $508,802.74. Should
we collect an amount equal to the estimates
of last year, which exceeded the sum realized
by $140,378 30, we would still have a deficiency'
of $422,484 38.
Even granting that we shall realize from
these estimates $250,000 more than was col¬
lected from same sources in 1892, the sum real¬
ized will fall short of the estimated revenues
just about $320,000.
Add to this at least $330,000 of city tax that
will pass into the hands of the Delinquent Tux
Collect/)!', and cannot, in consequence betnade
available during the present year, and we
have $650,000, or what seems to me will, under
this Ordinance, be the deficiency at the close
of 1893.
As an illustration of the extent to which the
estimated receipts'are inflated in this Ordi¬
nance, let me refer only' to waiter rents. East
year the estimated revenue from this source
was fixed at$6(0,000. There was collected dur¬
ing the year $005,000, in round numbers, thus
leaving a shortage of $36,000.
The present Ordinance places the income
from water rents at $770,000, which is an in¬
crease of twenty per cent, over the estimate of
last year.
To realize this sum will require the collec¬
tion of $165,000, or twenty-seven percent, more
revenue than was received from water rents
in the year 1892. 1 do not believe this is
possible. Tiie growth rtf the city will justify
no such expectation.
I might refer to other items in the Ordi¬
nance, but it is unnecessary at this time.
Either the tax rate should be increased two
mills or the appropriations should be reduced
at least $600,000.
The increase proposed by this Ordinance in
the estimated receipts from all sources out¬
side of city tax is greater than the increase in
t he estimated revenues from same sources for
the three years ending February 1st, 1891.
The estimates are excessive. They are not
honest. They may' be used for the time being
to secure targe and extravagant appropria¬
tions without increasing the tax rate, but the
inevitable result will be increased deficiencies
and a heavier burden for the taxpayers in
1894.
Respectfully submitted.

C.C. 1078.
Mayor’s Office, }
Pittsburgh, Fa., March lath, 1893.)
To the J*re.ndent and Members of Common
Council:
Oestef.men Permit me to return to your
honorable body without my approval “An Or¬
dinance (Bill No. 1000, Common Council) mak¬
ing appropriations for the fiscal year begin¬
ning February 1st, 1893, and authorizing the
expenditures thereof.”
Outside of all other considerations there is
one section in this ordinance to which I can-
pot subscribe, and which In itself would pre¬
vent my approval of the measure.
Section 9 says ;
“The Chiefs of the several departments of
the city are hereby authorized and einianvered
to provide supplies for their respective depart¬
ments, to advertise for bids and let contracts
for the same in the manner now provided by
law and the Ordinances of said city, not how¬
ever exceeding in any case the amounts ap¬
propriated for.said purpose.”
I do not believe this Section' should find any
place In an appropriation Ordinance. It lias
reference to a matter entirely foreign to that
of making appropriations, and should not be
incorporated in this measure. It, moreover,
in my judgment, makes the whole bill of
doubtful legality, as the Act of Assembly pro¬
vides that “No bill shall be passed containing
more than one subject, which shall be clearly
expressed in its title.”
If the Chiefs do not already possess author¬
ity to provide supplies for their respective de¬
partments, some of them have been exercising
that power In a very free and unrestricted
manner.
While lam In favor of conferring upon the
Chiefs of departments the power to provide
necessary supplies, I am very decided in the
eon viol ion that such jaiwer should be con¬
trolled and regulated in such a manner as to
orevent the extravagant expenditure of pub¬
ic money and confine the purchases to sup¬
plies, materials and apparatus expressly au¬
thorized by law.
The Ordinance appropriates for the use of the
Department of Public Safety the sum of $893,-
574 75, which Is an increase of 27 percent, over
the expenditures of the department for the
year ending February 1st, 189*2. The Fire Bu¬
reau gets $340,399 40 and the Bureau of Police
$421,095 00.
I do not say that the salaries paid our fire¬
men and policemen are excessive. I do not
believe they are. I believe that every efficient
fireman and every faithful policeman in the
employ of the city earns every dollar lie re¬
ceives.
But It Is iny delIbernte opinion that money
is lavishly expended in other directions.
Matrons and janitors of station houses re¬
ceive as large or almost as large salaries as the
patrolmen of the city, and the first named get
more than the teachers of our public schools.
The employes of the dog pound recei ve larger
salaries than half the tire men of the city, who
are on duty twenty-four hours in the day.
It requires six men at a salary of $912.50each
per annum to run this very important bureau,
notwithstanding the fact that the catching of
dogs and the issuing of dog licenses are con¬
fined to two or three months in the year.
In the estimates of the Department of Public
Safety provision is made for the payment of a
salary of $1.5 )0 a year to the Chief Sanitary In¬
spector of the Board of Health, who at present
receives a salary of $ 1,000 per annum. The
proposed salary would place this officer al¬
most on a par with the Superintendent and
give him $300 a year more money than is re¬
ceived by the Chief Clerk of the bureau.
By abandoning the use of Rook’s bill farm
and the store house on Wylie avenue consid¬
erable money might be saved to the city. The
former is in ‘my judgment an expensive and
unnecessary luxury, and whatever supplies
are kept in the latter could be removed to the
commodious engine house recently erected in
the First ward.
Perhaps the most important, duty of one of
the employes at the store-house to which I re¬
fer is to drive one of the officers of the city back
and forth between his residence and City ball.
Morning, noon and night this duly is per¬
formed with unceasing regularity.
It does seem that with the excellent facilities
afforded by the cable and electric roads for
reaching all parts of the city, many of the
horses and buggies supplied at public expense
might very properly be dispensed with.
By the exercise of a little more economy in
the furnishment of engine and station houses,
and in the purchase of house, stable ami horse
supplies and by relieving the payroll of use¬
less and unnecessary employes, the ex|>enses
of the Department of Public Safety might be
materially reduced.
In the estimates of the Departmentof Public
Works an appropriation is asked to cover the
salaries of 55 men in the Bureau of Engineer¬
ing and Surveys for a complete year. In this
list we find 18 inspectors, 7 chainmen, 8 rod-
men and 5 transitmen, whose time is devoted
to outdoor service. In view of the fact that
their services cannot be profitably employed
during a large part of the winter months, why
should they lie retained on the payroll the
year round?
In the estimate for Schenle.v pirk provision
is made for a timekeeper at $1,000 a year, u
consulting engineer and landscape architect
for 10 months at $2,000, an assista nt engineer at
$2,000 a year; 1 transitman, 1 rodman and two
chainmen fora lull year. What necessity Is
there for the employment of these men during
the whole year? Wlint useful service can they
render the city in the winter months? It. seems
like an inexcusable expenditure of public
money to keep men on the payroll when their
services cannot be advantageously utilized by
the city. I observe also in the contemplated
expenditures forSchenley park the same old
item of $1,000 for making plans. This item
makes its appearance w henever the Appropri¬
ation Ordinance is under consideration, and
demands recognition. Let us hope that these
plans may soon be finished.
In the Bureau of City Property there is a Su¬
perintendent who draws a salary of $1,800 a
year. He is an excellent gentleman, nnd
should be given something to do. If no duties
attach to the position the sooner the office is
abolished the better.
I believe that a proper reorganization of
R'ime of the departments would relieve the city
of much dead timber and save the tax payers
thousands of dollars.
In the Bureau of High ways and Sewers there
are eight sidewalk inspectors who should be
retired and their duties transferred to the Bu¬
reau of Police. Such a course would insure
much more efficient service and at the same
time eflect a saving of $7,500 a year.
During the past few years many thousands
of dollars have been expended by the Depart¬
ment of Public Works in the purchase of wag¬
ons, carts, machinery, horses, &c., without
any express authority so far as lam able to
discover.
Such purchases, if made, should be duly au¬
thorized by an Ordinance of Council.
Just here let me suggest that it is worthy of
consideration whether extensive park im¬
provements could not lie more economically
made under contract than by the labor of em¬
ployes of the city.
I might refer to many items in the Ordinance
but time will not permit.
Believing that the appropriations could be
reduced without impairing the efficiency of
the departments, I respectfully return the Or¬
dinance to your honorable body without my’
approval.
Yours truly,
H. I. GounijKV,
Mayor.

BU8INES8 FROM SELECT COUNCIL.
8. C. No. 67. Dedication of Augusta
street, from Grand View avenue to Rutledge
street.
In 8elect Council April 11th, 1892. Read,
accepted and approved.
Which was read, accepted and approved.
8. C. No. 6.
Pittsburgh, April J, 1832.
To Select and Common Councils of the City of
Pittsburgh :
Gentlemen— 1 Would respectfully ask your
honorable bodies for Die appointment of one
additional Sanitary Policeman for the Bureau
of Health, whose duties I propose to prescribe
and direct so as to make him an ARRlstant
Meat and Milk Inspector. The rapid and
large growt h of the city renders it impossible
for the Meat and Milk Inspector to look after
the various milk depots and stores, and there
has been a very large amount of adulteration
of milk which it has been impossible to cor¬
rect with the limited amount of help we have.
This Is a great and growing evil, and with one
additional employe, w hose duties I shall pre¬
scribe as alM>ve stated, to wit: To visit the
various railway station at all Incoming of
trains, and all the large milk depots and
stores, and thoroughly regulate and control
the milk dealers, so as to prevent this whole¬
sale adulteration of milk, will add much to
the efficiency of the Bureau of Health and
save the lives of at least many children. The
salary of the said appointee to be the same as
now paid employes of the Bureau of Health,
to wit: the sum of 875 per month.
I would also state to your honorable bodies
(
Mint the hint Councils, mirier the direction of
tlie Kinunce Committee, added the sum of
$1,500 to the Bureau of Plumbing and House
Drainage for the purpose of employing one
additional Plumbing and Sewer Inspector,
making his salary the same as now paid the
present Inspector.
Wit h the very large number of new build¬
ings t hat are annually put up—last year being
upwards of four thou sand—it. Is absolutely
impossible for one man to regulnte and con¬
trol the question of plumbing, sewerage and
bouse drainage. This Is a very important
Bureau, and should regulate and control this
matter in a more efficient manner. There is
much defecti veplumbing, sewering and d rain-
age work being done all over the city by con¬
tractors and parlies who care nothing about
the health and happiness of the citizens, their
whole purpose being to have the work done as
cheaply as possible ; and, as plumbing work is
usually bid away out of sight, it is too late
after the building is completed to detect and
remedy It. With an additional Inspector a
close watch can be kept upon all the traps and
sewers, as indicated by the plans and specifi¬
cations that are required to be tiled.
I would, therefore, ask your honorable
bodies to authorize this Department to up-
S rint an additional Plumbing, Sewer and
ouse Drainage Inspector at ttie same salary
as now paid our present Inspector, to wit: the
sum of $1,50 > per annum. This will then place
the Bureau of Plumbing and House Drainage
on lhe same basis as the Building Inspector s
office, to wit: two persons in charge of each
Bureau. Even this number is quite Insuffi¬
cient, but It Is a step in the right direction,
and the granting of these two requests will
add much to the efficiency of the Department
of Public Safety.
Respectfully submitted,
J. 0. Brown,
Chief Department of Public Safety.
In Select Council April 11th, 1892. Head

To the Select and Common Councils:
Gentlemen :~
Having been furnished by the clerks of
your honorable bodies with certificates of your
affirmative action in re approval of contracts
for sundry supplies for the current year award¬
ed by the Chief of the Department of Pu 1>I c
Safety, which certification of your approval Is
intended to authorize me to make the neces¬
sary disbursements under the said contracts, I
desire to inform your honorable bodies of my
belief that said action is incomplete and of
quite doubtful legality in its present, form.
Keferring to the letter of Mayor Gourley of
date-, wherein he called your atten¬
tion to the advisability of having hisoiiioial
concurrence upon the approval of those con¬
tracts, J am constrained to the same views
therein expressed, ami will not consider my¬
self sufficiently empowered to pay any bills
under those contracts until the power of Coun¬
cils to bind the city in that manner isestals
lished quite clearly beyond a rensoliable qnr*.
tion.
In this case I do not think the Councils
alone have legal power to engage the expendi¬
ture of a single dollar. If the approval ofeon-
tractw bean executive function of mu nieipu I
government, the Mayor, if he he (he Chief Kx-
ccutive, shall have duties to perform pertain¬
ing thereto by necessary implication. If such
nets are held to be legislative acts they must
follow the prescribed course for all legislation
and the presentation to the Mayor for Ids up
proval or disapproval becomes Imperative.
lathe making of contracts an executive or
legislative act? It is both, for tt is accom¬
plished in two distinct steps. The one is the
preparation of the specifications, their exhibi¬
tion, the examination of the materials nnd
proposals, tlie tabulation of the bids, and the
discriminating exercise of judgment, in re¬
gard to same, and the designation of the low¬
est and best, all of which duties, I concede,
should be performed by the executive deiwirt-
ments severally, subject to the supervisory
]H>wer of the Mayor. Here the executive func-
Si
tJoiiK stop and the legislative powers begin.
The resolve, conclusion or determination of
tin* governing bony lo indulge certain expendi¬
tures and commit- the city to their payment—
the will or consent to maice the purchase and
let the contract is the other step, and involves
(lie exercises of the legislate ve power. It is the
higher power, initiatory and paramount, and
It is (:> this volitional sense that, the law vests
in the legislative department the making of
contracts. The legislative department of the
city alone has the power to make contracts,
mid must exercise it by a resolution of Coun¬
cils to that effect, which must be approved by
the Mayor or passed over his veto.
As the Consolidation Act of 18(17 vested the
corporate authority in the Councils and ttic
Mayor, and as the attempt to assign legisla¬
tive functions specifically to Councils ami ex¬
ecutive duties specifically to the Mayor by the
new char ter act of 1887 was disallowed by the
Supreme Court, I can see no meaning in the
law, unless the joint action of these two arms
be necessary to constitute any corporate action
at all. This imprimatur of the corporate
power by the consolidation net was continued
by supplement in 187-i, which latter was sought
to be repealed in 1875 in respect to the Mayor's
jKiwcr of supervision over the ollicers, which
repealing act has been Impeached by the Su¬
premo Court and altogether supplanted by the
charter act. The misconception which' has
hitherto attended the discussion upon the
powers of the department disappears when we
trace their history from 1810 to the present
time—from the time when no corporate power
. existed to its first definite grant in that year
to the Councils. It will be understoou Unit the
con Kira tc ] lower includes legislative, judicial
and executive functions, hut the original char¬
ter assigned the judicial power to the Mayor—
It gave him no executive power—that was rc-
(Hindi with tiie Councils in the general grant
of the corporate power. Hence, the Mayor
was known as the Magistrate of the city-
nothing more. From IHhi to the consolidation
W't of M(7. this concept ion of their status had
so diffused itself by infiltration through two
generations that it is not surprising the broad
notion of Councils' powers shall still survive.
Hut the necessities of modern cities have ro-
milrcrt a different officer from the by-gone po¬
lice magistrate, and the mayor as an executive
has become incortioratod in the plan of city
government, clothed with authority to repre¬
sent the corporation as a supervising and di¬
recting business officer. The consolidation act
of istff marked the beginning of this change
incur frame of government as it did In mate¬
rial directions. Subsequent legislation of 1888,
hC4,1875, and 1887, all dealt with this particular
feature and in the two instances (1875 and 1887),
where modi float ions backward to the condition
prior to consolidation were attempted, the Su¬
preme Court lias prevented the change. Their
prmnneiatnento upon the Act of 18(17, com¬
pletely striking down tlie restrictions sought
to tic put around the Mayor’s authority, is yet
fresh In our minds, and I have come to |>er-
cclve that the union of the Mayor and the
Councils to perform any corporate act is fine
of the necessities of our scheme of municipal
transactions. There is no other mode of doing
business with legal sufficiency. I consider the
dental of the Mayor’s fulFright to one-lmlf of
all the corpora to power conferred by the legis¬
lature to be so fallacious as to Impute danger
to everything Councils may attempt to do
without Ids approval. It is not with me a
matter of opinion what powers Councils or the
Mayor should have respectively, but n matter
of law, and so definite and dear that, ns I at
first said, 1 am unwilling to drawn single war¬
rant- under those contracts whose award lias
elicited this communiealion without advising
your honorable bodies of the extreme gravity
of the situation.
Hec. 27 of Act, of April «, 18(17, says: “All
resolutions or orders to enter into a eon tract
whereby the corporation may become liable
for the payment of money shall tie fully and
distinctly read on three different days;” and
Hoc. 4 of the Act, of May 21, iK74, says that
“every legislative act of Council shall lie by
resolution or ordinance, and every ordinance
fir resolution shall be certified to the Mayor
for his approval ” This language of the law is
its own dictionary: it makes the centering
into a contract for payment of money, a duty
which Councils are directed to perforin in a
certain manner—a legislative duty which be¬
comes amenable to legislative form.
f.would therefore ask that you reconsider
your former action in approving those con¬
tracts of* the Safety Department, and that your
approval be manifested by a proper resolution,
which shall be sent to the Mayor for his proper
action within his sphere.

Pittshukgh, May 27, 1892.
To the President and Members of Common
Council:
Bknti.kmkn I beg leave to return to your
honorable body without my approval the ac¬
companying resolution authorizing the Con¬
troller to issue his certificate on the Mayor for
warrants in favor of the The Allegheny County
Light Coin puny aggregat ing the sum of #941.241.
This resolution provides for the payment of
a bill of said Company amounting to#b07.9<> for
light furnished Municipal Hall and Market
House for the month of March, 18412. Also for
payment of bill of $133.33 for light furnished
Municipal Hall for the month of April, 1892.
Under a contract with the Pittsburgh Has
Company the City is entitled to the’ use of
about ten thousand dollars (#10,000) worth of
gas free. Last year none of this gas was uti¬
lized for the reason that the lighting of all the
public buildings was covered by contracts
with the Electric Light Company. As the
contract with the Allegheny County Light
Company expired several months ago and 1ms
not yet been renewed, there seems to he no ob¬
stacle in the way of lighting the Market House
and Municipal Hull with gas.
tins, I am Informed was substituted for Elec¬
tric light-in the Market House April 1st, but
there seems to be some objection to its use in
Municipal Hall.
The market houses and this hall will con¬
sume about all the gas to which the city Is en¬
titled without charge and they are the only
buildings, it seems, In which It can be con¬
veniently used.
To light these buildings with electric light
will cost the city not less than $8,000 or $10,000;
to light them with gas will cost nothing.
The lighting of Municipal Hall with electric
light Is now costing the city at- the rate of $4,000
a year. To light, it with gas will cost nothing.
While electric light may be preferable to. and
somewhat more convenient than that of gas,
the difference is not in my judgment sufficient
to Justify the use of the former when we can
obtain the latter without expense to the city.
It was the Intention when the appropriation
ordinance was under consideration to light
these buildings with free gas, us the Item of
$8,000 for electric lighting was stricken out or
the estimates of the Department of Public
Works. Why that intention has not been car¬
ried out, I do not know.
1 can see no good reason why we should ex¬
pend four or live thousand dollars in lighting
this hull when we can light, it for nothing. The
light that is good enough for the great mass of
our citizens in their residences is certainly
good enough for this hall, especially when 11
can bo obtained free. Respectfully,
H. I. GOUKLKY,
Mayor.
Which was read, received and filed.

Mayor,”

BUSINESS FROM SELECT 1 COUNCIL. ,
S. C. No. 294.
Mayor’s Office. 1
Pittsburgh, Pa., May 31st, 1892. J
To the President and Members of Select Coun¬
cils:
Gentlemen I respectfully return to your
honorable body without my approval an Or¬
dinance (S. C. Bill No, 211) entitled “An Or¬
dinance granting to the Exchange Street
Railway Company its successors and assigns
the right to enter upon, use and occupy
certain streets aiul highways, and to lease its
franchises und properly, or either.”
tinder the ordinance the company will lmve
the right to enter upon and construct its rail¬
way or branches or extensions thereof with a
single line of track over and along any and
all of the following named streets or high¬
ways or purts thereof:
Beginning at the intersection of Fourth
avenue und Market street, thence along Mar¬
ket street to the intersection thereof with
Liberty avenue, thence with the consent of
tlie Allegheny Traction Company and the
Tran verse Passenger Railway Company along
the south-eastern side of Liberty avenue to
Bixth avenue and thence with consent of
Pittsburgh, Allegheny and Manchester Pas¬
senger Railway Company and Traction Com¬
pany along Sixth avenue to Wood street, and
to operate its cars thereon.
There are several street railway tracks on
Liberty and Sixth avenues at the present
time. The Act of Assembly of 1889 expressly
says: “No extension or branch of a street
railway shall be constructed on any street or
highway upon which a track Is laid or author¬
ized under any existing charier, except as
^hereinafter provided. The ,k hereinafter pro¬
vided ” refers to the use by one company,
with the consent of the city authorities, of
such portion, not exceeding 500 feet of the
tracks of another company, as may be neces¬
sary to enable such company to construct a
circuit upon its own road at the end thereof.
If the distance from Market street to Wood
street is more tiiun 500 feet I cannot see how
the Exchange Street Rail way Company could,
in the face of this provision of the Act of As¬
sembly, construct its railway upon Liberty
and Sixth avenues even with the consent of
the city and of the company already occupy¬
ing the streets. If! am wrong in iny under¬
standing of the provision referred to In the
Act of 1889, 1 hope some member of Coun¬
cil more familiar than myself with Legisla¬
tive enactments will explain what the law
really does mean.
It is hardly reasonable to suppose that the
Exchange Ntreet Railway Company desires
simply to run cars from Wood street by wuy
of Sixth avenue, Liberty avenue and Market
street to Fourth avenue and stop there. Yet
that is what the ordinance seems to Indicate.
The intention must be to lease the franchise
and property to other companies, having
rights and privileges upon other streets. Tills
statement Is Justified by the language of sec¬
tion two.
Undoubtedly the object of the ordinance Is
to authorize the Duquesne Traction Company
to run its cars over the route designated to
Fourth avenue, thence along that street to a
connection at Wood street with the tracks of
said company now used on Fourth avenue.
Where the Exchange Street Railway Com¬
pany or the Duquesne Traction Company
acquires the right to occupy Fourth avenue
between Market and Wood streets I do not
know. There Is nothing In the present or¬
dinance granting authority to use that portion
of the street. However, the important feature
of the ordinance Is contained in the provision
authorizing the construction of railway tracks
on Market street and the operation of cars
thereon.
Is it wise to permit street railway companies
to occupy this street between Liberty and
Fourth avenues? To this question I have
devoted considerable thought. I have done
more than this. I have talked with many of
our citizens In order, if possible, to uncertain
the feeling of our people on the subject. I
have not confined my interview Lo pernotiK
doing business upon the line of the streel.
because I realize, and I say this with si)
respect, that their opposition, while entitled
to consideration, is very largely the repetition
of history as regards the construction of rail¬
ways upon any street. I have talked willi
citizens in all parts of our city, and so fnr ua
I am able to determine the sentiment of ttie
community is against the operation of curs
on this street.
Market street belongs, peculilarly, to the
general public, und the people of the city
have perhaps a greater interest in it than in
any other avenue. Our city markets are on
this street and they are visited by the grenl
mass of the people of the city on every irmr-
ket day. The best interests of the city de¬
mand "that these market houses should, at
all times, be accessible to those who bring to
market the goods and supplies necessary to
meet the wauls of our people. These market
houses are busy places on market days, und I
firmly believe the running of cars upon the
street would prove a constant annoyance,
and a perpetual source of danger, not only to
horses and vehicles, but to men, women and
children. This street is but 22 feet from curb
to curb and Is one of the most crowded
thoroughfares in the whole city. That por¬
tion of it between Fifth and Liberty avenues
constitute the narrow passageway through
which the great mass of people going to and
coming from Allegheny City daily pass.
Perhaps 50,000 to 75,090 human beings pass
back and forth along this portion of the street
every day of the week.
Very frequently, especially in the after¬
noons, the whole street is converted into a
footway and crowded with men, women and
children who are unable to find walking
space on the sidewalk. Add to this mass of
moving humanity the Innumerable vehicles
that are constantly coming and going through
tills contracted passageway and you will be
able to form some conception of the condi¬
tion of Market street at the present time,
l know it js claimed by the advocates of the
ordinance, that it only requires a line or
several lines of street cars to remove this
pressure and relieve the street. But how a
streetcar rustling into this narrow neck every
iniuuie or half minute is to effect this radical
change is a problem which I confess my Inabil¬
ity to understand. The argument is based on
the assumption that, outside of the driver of
an iron wagon or of an Ice wagon, the people
have been taught to believe that they have
no rights that street cars and street car com¬
panies are bound to respect.
At ttie Intersection of Fifth avenue and
Market street the cars of the Fifth Avenue
Traction Company cross Market street one
way or the other on an average about once a
minute.
If the cars of the Duquesne Traction Com¬
pany and the cars of the Allegheny and Man¬
chester line are permitted to occupy Market
street, what will be the result?
We will have a car crossing Fifth avenue
every thirty seconds and a car crossing
Market street every minute; in other word*
the intersection of these two important street*
will be practically monopolized by street
railway companies. The principal Inlet and
outlet for the people of two great cities will
be turned over to street cars.
That such a condition of things will serlnu*
72
ly interfere with public travel and the rights
of tii e people mu at be apparent to any person
who will Luke the trouble to carefully ex¬
amine the situation. I am in favor of rapid
transit, but lam not hi favor of giving rail¬
way companies absolute possession of impor¬
tant streets In the business center of the city
to the detriment of the general public.
It Is the business of this city that maintains
and supports our people and insures our
prosperity. Street railways are an outgrowth
of the prosperity of the city, and while they
are a great eon venlence they ought not to be
permitted to interfere with the free and un¬
restricted use ol the streets for business pur¬
poses.
The persons most deeply interested in the
passage of tii is ordinance are the persons
most deeply interested in street ruilwuys and
railway corporations.
Paramount to their interests are the in¬
terests of the general public which will, in my
Judgment, be seriously Infringed upon by the
surrender of this Important street. Hoping
your honorable body will give the measure
tlie consideration its Importance demands, 1
am,
Very respectfully,
H. I, GoURI.KY,
Mayor.
In fueled Council May 31, 1892. Head, re¬
ceived and fil’d and bill passed, notwith¬
standing the objections of the Mayor.
Which was read, received and filed.
nance granting theconsent of the Connells, to
the Pittsburgh, Allegheny and Manchester
Passenger Hallway Company, its successors,
lessees and assigns to enter upon and use
certain streets for its railway, and lo connect
with certain other passenger railways.’*
The first preamble to this ordinance declares
that by reason of the termini of various rail¬
ways being situate at the Intersection of
Liberty a venue and Sixth street, the operation
of the cars of said Traction Companies is
attended with more or less danger to the
public.
The second preamble proposes to remedy
this evil by making such a distribution of
cars of said Traction Companies as will send
said cars to other and additional termini
throughout the city.
The ordinance then proceeds to give the
Pittsburgh, Allegheny and Manchester Pas¬
senger Railway Company the right to con¬
struct, maintain and operate an electric street
rail way, beginnlngat end of North Side bridge
on Seventh sLreet; thence along Duunesne
Way to Water street; thence along water
street to Wood street. Also aL un end of North
Side bridge to connect with tracks of Trans¬
verse Passenger Railway Company; thence
along Seventh street, to Liberty. Also, at
corner of Sixth and Penn to connect with
south track of Citizens Passenger Hallway
Company; thence along Penn avenue to
Seventh street, with authority to straddle said
track on Penn avenue if permission cannot
be obtained from Citizens Railway Company
to use the truck already there.
Mr. JlfHiijfh presented
No. 353. Remonstrance against grant¬
ing the use of Market street to any Passenger
Hallway.
Wiiich was read, received and filed.

H. C. No. 295.
Mayor’s Office. l
Pittsburgh, Pa., May 31st, 1892. j
To the Pre sit lent and Members of Select Coun¬
cil:
Gkxti.kmkn I beg leave to return to your
honorable body without my approval An Or¬
dinance^. C. Bill No. 14) entitled “An Ordl-
Also, with consent of Allegheny Traction
Company to connect with tracks of Transverse
Passenger Railway at .Sixth and liberty
where said streets intersect with Market.
Also, witti consent of Allegheny Traction
Company, said company shall have the right
to operate Its cars over all the streets now
used and occupied by the Allegheny Traction
Company for the operation of its cars, and
also upon such other streets as the Allegheny
Traction Company, as lessor of the Transverse
Passenger Railway Company may .have the
right to operate Us cars on.
Also, beginning at Liberty and Market;
thence along Market street to Fourth avenue;
thence along Fourth avenue to Wood street;
thence along Wood street on Transverse
tracks with consent of the Allegheny Trac¬
tion Company. The ordinance provides, also,
that if the Exchange Street Railway Company
be authorized to lay tracks on Market street,
then the Pittsburgh, Allegheny and Man¬
chester Passenger Railway Company, its
successors, lessees and assigns shall obtain
consent of said ExchangeStreetRallway Com¬
pany to operate over its tracks on Market
street.
Also, that it shall be authorized to agree
with such street railway companies as have
rights and tracks on Fourth avenue between
Market and Wood to use such tracks for the
operation of Its cars. If permission from
other companies cannot be had for the use of
tracks on Market and Fourth avenue then the
said Pittsburgh, Allegheny and Manchester
Passenger Railway Company shall have the
right to lay additional tracks upon Market
street and Fourth avenue over the route
specified.
The ordinance provides for numerous other
rights and franchises which 1 have really not
the time to enumerate.
■ ft is an omnibus measure in the fullest
73
sense of the term. It, seems to have been
drawn especially in the interest of lessors,
lessees, successors and assigns. it isevidently
intended to convey all the authority and grant
all the rights, powers, privileges and fran¬
chises which the company may see lit to use
or exercise at any time in the future.
It is the most comprehensive and complex
piece of legislation that has been submitted
to me for approval since I have occupied this
office.
Never before, so far as I have knowledge,
lias any one ordinance conferred such ex¬
tensive rights and privileges, and these too
without one scintilla of compensation to the
city. It even contains a provision modifying
the section of Die General Ordinance requir¬
ing companies to pave between the tracks
and one toot outside thereof. This paving, as
provided by the ordinance, is to be limited to
streets not paved with block stone.
Aye, It is said that after awhile an ordinance
will be passed placing a tax of fifty dollars on
each street car operated on the streets of our
city.
Have you calculated the amount of revenue
this tax will produce? Well, just about
twelve or fifteen thousand dollars ; while it
will cost the city not one cent less than forty
thousand dollars annually to pay the officers
required to signal the cars of these companies
and corporations at the crossings and corners
of our streets.
We are told that street railways are a con¬
venience to the public. No one denies tills,
but It does not follow that they should be per¬
mitted to absolutely monopolize the business
streets of the city without some reasonable
compensation. They area convenience, but
the people pay for the convenience. They are
primarily for the benefit of the companies and
the pecuniary advantage of their projectors.
The Transverse Passenger Railway Com¬
pany, which occupies Wood street, paved be¬
tween the tracks and one foot outsiae thereof
with block stone as a small compensation to
the city for Us occupancy of the street.
Under this ordinance, the Pittsburgh. Alle¬
gheny and Manchester Passenger Railway
Company Is authorized to use the Wood street
tracks Jointly with the Transverse Company.
It will be relieved from all paving because the
street is already paved with block stone, and
yet the ordinance requires no other compen¬
sation. The company is granted permission
to operate its cars upon this important street
without llie payment of one dollar to the city.
What Is true of this street will apply with
equal force to many of the other streets enu¬
merated in this ordinance.
This ordinance succeeds in distributing the
dangerous termini mentioned in the two
preambles already referred to, but It forgets to
say anything about the numerous crossings
and corners that this distribution converts
into places of constant danger to the public.
Let me refer to one of these: If the Pitts¬
burgh, Allegheny <fc Manchester Passenger
Railway Company is permitted to occupy
Market street and Fourth avenue all its cars
will swing around the corner at Fourth ave¬
nue and Wood street and across the tracks of
the Wylie Avenue line in order to reach the
tracks of the Transverse Company on the east
side of this street. We will have cars circling
around from Wood to Fourth, and cars swing¬
ing around from Fourth to Wood every
minute in the day thus converting a corner
already dangerous into a place of ten-fold
greater danger. I might speak also of Fourth
and Market, Fiftli and Market, Fifth and
Wood and many other crossings and corners,
but time will not permit.
I mention these things to show that while
the ordinance may lessen the danger, ‘as
claimed by the company, at Liberty and
Market, It will increase the peril in a dozen
other places. And yet there is not a provision
in the ordinance requiring the company to
station men at these dangerous crossings and
corners for the protection of the public.
We have given away very many valuable
franchises without demanding any equiv¬
alent return to the city. Some of these have
been utilized by the companies receiving
them, while others have been transferred u>
other corporations for valuable consider¬
ations.
Is it not our duty as the sworn represen¬
tatives of the people to see that these numer¬
ous rights and privileges which are a source
of so much profit to companies and corpora¬
tions are made a source of some revenue to
our city?
My objections to the placing of tracks or the
operation of cars on Market street are fully
presented in my com muni cation accompany¬
ing the Exchange street Railway ordinance
herewith enclosed. These objections apply
with equal force to this ordinance and need
not be repeated here.
I respectfully request that that communica¬
tion be read before action is taken by your
honorable body on this ordinance.
Very respectfully,
H. I. GouitLKY,
Mayor,
Which was read, received and filed.

No. 412.
June 2f)th, 1892.
To the Select and Common Council* :
GKNTf/E men There is submitted to yon
a joint- resolution, author! zing a settlement to
be made with Mrs. Isabel C. sargeaut. of
various claims held by the City for improve¬
ments made.
These claims aggregate the sum of $18,000,
and are for streets and sewers. She has offered,
tiirougii her counsel, to withdraw all excep¬
tions tiled, and also her demand for trial by
jury, and pay the City the sum of $11,093 cash
in sixty days after the approval of such resolu¬
tion. Jn consideration of which all claims by
the City are to be settled and discontinued.
The offer made, in my Judgment, should be
accepted.
The litigation is likely to be greatly protrac¬
ted, and the result of It doubtful. I believe
the interests of the City will lie subserved by
accepting her offer—will save heavy costs, and
put into tlie treasury in a very short time a
large sum of money.
I would therefore respectfully ask at your
hands the adoption of the resolution.
, I am, with great respect,
Yours truly,
Wn.r.rAM C. Mobklano,
City Attorney.

amount to #18,<KK). And whereas, there are
many doubtful and intricate questions in¬
volved in the matters in dispute involving
claims on the part of said Isabel C, Sargeant.
for damages for taking her property. And
whereas, the attorney for said City, and the
attorney for the said Mrs. Sargeant believe it
beneficial to all parties—the City consenting to

the payment to said City of the sum of $14,000.
Therefore resolved. That W. C. Moreland,

within a lew miles of New York City.
While the rigid enforcement of quarantine
regulations has to the present time prevented
the dread disease from reaching our shores,
we cannot tell at what hour It may force its
way into some of our seaport cities.
Should cholera appear In New York the
danger of its reaching our own city will be¬
come imminent.
We should be fully prepared for the emer¬
gency.
Much excellent work has already been done
by Die officers and employes of the various
departments and bureaus of the Municipal
Government towards the improvement of the
sanitary condition of the city. Sewers and
sewer-drops have been cleansed and disin¬
fected; streets and alleys have been washed;
stagnant pools have been drained; nuisances
have been abated, and the accumulated flit))
In the rivers at the mouths of the sewers has
been removed.
In addition to this the people generally
have been notified to remove all house-refuse
and garbage from thef r premises and to thor¬
oughly cleanse, whitewash, and ventilate
their cellars and out-houses. In response to
the notices given very many of our citizens
have rendered the officers and employes of
the city efficient aid in the work of sani¬
tation.
What has been done thus far has been done
without, any large expenditure of money; but
should cholera invaoe any of our seaports,
especially New York, much additional work
will be required to prevent the introduction
or spread of the disease in onr city.
It may and doubtless will become necessary
to establish inspection stations on the llneR of
our various railroads, provide temporary hos¬
pitals within the limits of onr cily, appoint
physicians, officers and nurses for the care of
the sick. In such an event the Department of
Public Safety should be supplied with the
money necessary to provide tor the proper
treatment and Isolation of the afliicted und
for the propeetion of the public from the
ravages of the disease.
I, therefore, respectfully but earnestly sug¬
gest that your honorable bodies duly author¬
ize the finance committee to provide an ample
fund which may be draw’n upon for the pur¬
poses designated in case the emergency
should so require.
Respectfully yours,
H. J. Gourley,
Mayor,

Mayor’s Office. 1
Pittskuhoh, Pa., September 12, 185)2, f
To the President and Members of Select Council:
Gentlemen I beg leave to return to your
honorable body, without my approval, the
following resolutions and Articles of Agree¬
ment, to wit
First. A resolution (S. C. No. .T38) binding
the City to purchase from PM ward M. Bigelow,
Chief of the Department of Public Works, a
piece of property, about five acres, adjoining
the Highland Park, and known as the Kite
property, for the sum of sixty-five thousand
(SAi.OOO) dollars.
Secon i). ArticlesofAgreement(S.0. No.Sift)
bv and between William Klinn and Edward
M. Bigelow, Chief of the Department of Public
Works, together with accompanying resolu¬
tions, binding the City to purchase from the
said William Flinn fourteen acres, more or
less, of land adjoining the Highland Park at
the price of $7 ,.>41.IB per acre, or for the total
sum of about $105,500.00.
Third, Articles of Agreement (S. C. No.
337 > by and lietween Charles I/Oekhart, by his
attorney In fact, James H. Lockhart, of the
first part, and Edward M. Bigelow. Chief of
the Impart inent of Public Works, of the second
part, binding the City to purchase from the
said Charles Lockhart three pieces or tracts of
land adjoining or contiguous to Highland
Park, and embracing about twenty-seven and
a half acres, at the price of $2,538.21 per acre, or
for the sum total of aland $70,420.00.
These contraids contemplate the purchase of
about forty-eight acres of additional land for
Highland Park at an aggregate expense of
two hundred and forty-one thousand ($211,000)
dollars.
They are not options, as some persons im¬
agine; they absolutely bind the City to take
the property at the price designated.
The resolution authorizes and til reels the
controller to issue a certificate for a warrant
upon the proper appropriation for the amount
of the purchase money, upon the approval of
the title to said property by the City Attorney.
There is no appropriation out of which to pay
for tliis property. Such an expenditure was
not contemplated when the appropriations
for the present year were made. It is impos-
sible, therefore, to issue certificate for a
warrant for such a purpose upon uny existing
appropriation. This is well known hy all the
parties concerned. It is admitted the money
cannot be paid now. The present owners of
the property are witling to wait until after the
passage of the next appropriation ordinance
which will have to provide an appropriation
to meet this indebtedness of $241,000.00.
Why not defer these purchases, then, until
your honorable body shall have made the
appropriation for the purpose? Under the
law the expenditures authorized by the appro¬
priation ordinance are limited to the revenues
of the city. Why, then, assume a liability
and create an indebtedness in violation of the
law? Under extraordinary circumstances,
and in some great emergency such action
might be excusable, hut there is neither ne¬
cessity nor public demand for the purchase of
these proiKUties in this Irregular way.
The precedent established hy such action is
bad. Intis proper to create, at tiie present
time, an indebtedness of $241,000.00 to be pro¬
vided for In the appropriations of the coining
year, it will t>e Just as proper next year to
create an indebtedness of a million dollars to
be paid out of appropriations of the year
thereafter. Even thong)) such a policy were
In strict harmony with law, its evil tendency
must be apparent to all.
But we have no right whatever, to bind the
city to the purchase of property unless the
money has been previously appropriated to
meet the payments. The piece of land known
as the Fite property ought. I believe, to belong
to the park, and, while [$B5,000] seems a very
large amount of money for so small a niece of
property, I would nevertheless feel disposed
to approve Its purchase if we had an appro¬
priation for the purpose. It lies at the High¬
land avenue entrance, and its acquisition for
park purposes would improve the drive-way,
and add materially to the beauty and value of
the park. If it is deemed advisable to buy
this property your honorable body can make
an appropriation for that purpose the coming
year. W hen the money is in the treasury the
purchase can be made in a legal way, if K
must be made. I may state very frankly that
at this time I am not in favor of the purchase
of tiie other properties referred to In this com¬
munication.
Highland Park contains at present, I believe,
about two hundred and fifty acres, and is in
my judgement a hundantly large to meet all the
requirements for the next ten years or more.
If there is a settled determination on the
part of your honorable body to buy additional
park property, I ani strongly inclined to tiie
opinion that the wants and demands of the
South Side |s*ople are entitled to consideration.
They have paid their full proportion of the
expense attending the improvement and pur¬
chase of park properties which are, at least, in
a measure inaccessible to them. If we must
have additional land for park purposes the
interest and convenience of the South Side
citizens should, therefore, determine its
location.
We are informed, however, that both Sciien-
ley and Highland Parks are to be greatly
enlarged. Some enthusiastic individuals de¬
clare that the former shall extend to Murray
avenue and the latter to Hryant street. The
consummation of these magnificent projects
means the purchase of four or live hundred
acres of land at an expense of at least two
millions of dollars. If such purchases are
seriously contemplated the whole subject of
acquiring park property should be taken up
systematically and submitted to the people in
the form of a proposition for the issue of bonds
with which to meet the expense.
Such a course would give the people an
opportunity of being heard regarding exteu- j
si ve purchases of this character. J f approved
by them the consequent Indebtedness would
be distributed over a series of years and the !
acquisition of park property finally adjusted
for all time to coine.
Additional park property will necessitate
additional appropriations forits improvement
and these expenditures together with the pur¬
chase money will either increase the tax levy
or curtail the necessary expenses of the numb
cipality in other important matters.
It should be bourne in mind just here that
the city is annually spending large amounts
of money in the payment of rent for leased
property for the use of fire and police bureaus,
and tills too upon the plea that we arc
not in financial condition at the present
time to Justify the purchase of the property
required.
This very year the Department of Public
Safety is reconstructing buildings upon leased
property for a Central Station and an Kiigiue
House at an expense to the city of not less
than fifty thousand dollars. As is well known,
only a few mouths before abandoning the
rented Station House in Diamond alley the
sum of four or five thousand dollars was ex¬
pended in Improvements upon it.
If your honorable body desires to purchase
property, would it not be well to purchase it
for these very important purposes and thus
relieve the City of the very considerable ex¬
pense attending the payment of rent, and at
the same time avoid the necessity of making
expensive and valuable improvements on
property which belongs to private individuals?
I may be permitted to state in this connec¬
tion that I am in favor of parks. I consider
them an incalculable blessing to the people of
a large and densely i>opuluted city. J believe
too, that in this city we should have several
parks, but I am not in sympathy with the
idea t-liat every park should embrace ft large
area of land. One park of considerable extent
Is essential, in order that, ample drive-ways
may be provided for the accommodation and
enjoyment of those who have vehicles and
wish to drive. Kor this purpose Sihenley
Hark answers every demand. It is just as
accessible to the people of Hast Knd ns it is lo
people of the old portion of the city or of the
South side.
Those, therefore, who wish to drive can find
no more delightful place for such recreation
than Sohenley Park, liut the great mass of
our people do not drive. When they visit the
park they go on foot or patronize the street
cars. When they reach tin* grounds they have
neither time nor disposition to travel over
three or four hundred acres of park property.
They want shade, they want rest.
I believe, therefore, in locating parks as near
the people as possible. A small park conven¬
ient to the people of a given locality is much
more desi ratde, much more beneficial, than a
five hundred-acre park seven or eight mill's
dish int.
I am unable at the present time to see any
necessity for two large parks in this city. In
tiie years to come Schenley will be the great
central park of Pittsburgh. If It is not Targu
enough it can be made larger after awhile.
liut the interests of the whole people will not
in my judgement be subserved by large addi¬
tions to Highland Park. It is at the extreme
eastern limit of the city and is far removed
from the great mass of working people who
constitute the very large proportion of our
population, and who need, more than all
others, the advantages, enjoyments and re¬
creation which parks afford.
I must not be understood as opposing High*
• land Park, because I am not. It serves a
grand purpose, but I believe it to be sufficiently
large to meet all the requirements of those
who can wit h any” degree of eon veil ienec enjoy
its advantages.
J do not consider the present or the immed¬
iate future an opportune time for large
expenditures in park purchases, but if such
purchases must be made I would earnestly
suggest that your honorable body” consider
tiie advisability of providing a pleasure-
ground somewhere on tiie South Side,
before investing almost two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars in the manner proposed by
the accompanying contracts.
Respectfully yours,
H. I. GOUKLEY,
Mayor. *

No. 07
Pittshuroh, Pa., October 10, Ih»2.
To (he Pi'esidenl and Members of Common
Council:
Orntlkxrn :—l beg leave to return to your
honorable body without rny approval n re¬
solution (C. C. No. 538) authorizing the
settlement of “claims made against the City
of Pittsburgh for damage arising from the
opening ami grading of McKee Place,”
The grading already done on McKee Place
was done under an ordinance approved April
3d, 1SD0, for the grading, paving, and curbing
of said street, from Fifth avenue to Frazier
street,
It is only necessary, however. In the dlv
cusslori of tlie matter before us, to refer to that
portion ofMeKee Place ex tending from Forties
to Ward street. For convenience this |x>rilon
may be divided into two parts, one of which
extends from Forbes to Bates street, and the
other from Bates lo Ward street. The part
extending from Forbes to Bates street, a
distance of about fourteen hundred feet, has
been dedicated or set apart as a Rlreet hythe
McKee heirs. On t his t here Is no claim for
present or prospective damages.
The part extending from Bates to Ward
street, a distance of 3W feet has not been dedi¬
cated by t.he property owners. To this section
tire claims for damages referred to hi the re¬
solution are wholly confined.
The grading thus far done is confined to
that portion of McKee Place dedicated by the
McKee heirs and extending, as 1 have stated,
from Forbes to Bates street .
If we except a very little filling, embrarlag
an area of about twenty feet square, in the
bed of an old 30-foot street, on line of the
proposed McKee Place, and laid out InJ.H.
Sawyer's plan of Jots, the property between
Bates and Ward street has not, up to the
present lime, been touched, encroached upon
or damaged.
The city has not, therefore, taken possession
of tlie property for which damages are dc*
! nianded. The city Is not yet a trespasser.
1 The propei 1y owners are at this time suffer¬
ing no damages.
Their claims are not for existing but for
prospective damages. The resolution pn>
poses that the city shall pay these i>enplr
j $25,000.00 for the damages they may sustain In
1 case McKee Place between Bates and Ward
i street shall he opened and graded.
150
Anti why should the city assume this ex¬
pense? There In, In my Judgment, no more
Justice In no (loins' l imn there would he In a
proposition to have I he city imy i he taxes ol‘
the people on lhe line of McKee IMace.
The promised Improvement Is very largely
local In its character. Those interested In the
McKee property frankly admit that It will
very greatly enhance the value of their land.
The same Is unquestionably true of much
other property on ihe line of the street. Why
then should we take 825,000.00 from the
treasury of the city to pay for the damages
attending an Iniprovement which is of no
*pcdal benefit to the general public, but from
which the property owners generally on the
line of the improvement will derive no much
benefit.
ir you, the members of your honorable
IxHly, could visit Die ground and see for your¬
selves, as I have done, I am sure you would
decide that it is neither Just- nor wise to
cnfisutumute the settlement proposed by the
resolution.
What then should be done? According to a
stHtenirnt given me by the Chief of Depart¬
ment of Public Works, the cost of t he grading
Already done by the contractors, Booth A.
FI In ii, amounts to $11,7(10. This work, as
already stated, has been done on the part of
the street dedicated by the McKee heirs, but
H has been done under a contract with the
city, and the city Is legally bound to pay for
the same.
Is it not better to pay the contractors
111,760.0(1 for the work done and then stop,
rather than expend S2.y>00.00 of the city’s
money In the payment of the prospective
damages set forth In the resolution?
The McKee heirs can then proceed, as they
are ready to do, and as they will be compelled
lo do, In order to bring their own property
Into the market, to complete the work, on
McKee place between Forties and Bates street,
on their own responsibility and at their own
expense.
I<et the work on the remainder of the Im¬
provement be absolutely discontinued until
such time as those interested in, and bene¬
fited by, Ha completion shall provide for Die
(^ymentof the damages which tills resolution
Tould thrust upon (he city.
The McKee heirs reap the benefit of Ihe
work already done, and they may feel in duty
bound to reimburse the city for the money
that must he paid under the contract with
Booth A Klinn.
Mlioitld they do so t lie city will lose nothing.
Mhoutd they not do so the city will lose
llt.000.no less money by paying the contrac¬
tor* and disconlInning work Ilian by the
settlement contemplated by the resolution.
lam hi favor of Improvements, but I am not.
In favor of paying the damages at tending
local Improvements out of the treasury of
the city. This has been done to a con¬
siderable extent In the past, and unless great
care Is exerolRed by your honorable bodies In
the opening of hi reels and In the fixing of
grades the city will be compelled under Die
New Street Acts, to expend large amounts of
money in the payment of damages incident
to improvement of a purely local character.
Yours respectfully,
H. I. tfuUKLKY,
Mayor.

S. C. No. 524.
Mayor’s Office. )
Pittshurgh, Pa., October 31,1892. /
To the l*resident and Members of Select Council.
Ukntlkmks:- I respectfully return to your
honorable body without my approval S. C.
Hill No. 398. “An Ordinance grunting to the
Heltefleld street Railway Comi>any, its suc¬
cessors, lessees and assigns the right to enter
upon, use and occupy u certain street, avenue
and highway for the purpose of its railway,
and to lease its franchises and property or
either."
This ordinance confers upon the Bellefleld
Htreet Kailway Company, which is a branch
of the Dnquesne Traction Company, the right
to construct a double truck mil way on Centre
avenue, from Neville street to Herron avenue.
On the same day that this measure wns
present to Council, the Central Passenger Rail¬
way Company lntn>diiced an ordinance ask¬
ing for the privilege of extending its milway
to the Fast Knd by way of Center avenue.
Doth ordinances were on the same tiny re¬
ferred by your honorable ImkIv to the (>>m-
mlttee on Corporations. Tills one was
promptly considered by the committee, re¬
turned with a favorable recommendation,
and passed by Councils. On the other, no
action has vet been taken by your committee.
The committee has not returned it to your
honorable laxly. You have not had the op
portunltv of comparing the two ordinances
and of cfetermining which Is the more bene¬
ficial to the general public.
I trust you will pardon me for discussing a
measure not officially l>efore me, but I cannot
present my odjectlons to this ordinance In a
clear and ‘satisfactory manner without mak¬
ing some reference to the ordinance of the Cen¬
tral Passenger Hallway Company proposing
to give the city another continuous railway to
Fast Liberty.
Both these franchises cannot be granted.
The one necessarily excludes the other.
Which, then, will be the more advantageous
to the city? Which will be the more useful
to our people? These are questions which it
devolves upon us to answer.
I believe another through line of railway 1o
Fast Liberty Is needed now* and will become
an absolute necessity In the Immediate future.
Any citizen who dully travels to and from
the Fast Knd knows by experience and <>l*rr-
vution that every evening one-half the peojilo
who patronize the Fifth avenue and Dinjiicsm-
roads are compelled to stand In crowded esm
on their way to their homos.
Another continuous line to the Fast Knd
would relieve this pressure and enablecltlzenn
who pay their fares to enjoy the convenient
of seats.
The ordinance of the Central Passenger Hall-
wav Company, proposes to supply Just such a
railway, thus enabling citizens to make the
complete trip either way, between Wood street
and Penn avenue, on payment of one fare.
Surely such u roud would be infinitely mors
useful to the general public than the mere
fragment of a railway contemplated by this
ordinance.
The one would be a public benefit, the other
would be a permanent obstruction midway In
a great thoroughfare to prevent forailtlme
the construction of a competing road.
IA*t uh suppose this Bellefleld railway built.
A resident of Herron Hill desires to < , oine Into
the city. He enters a car, pays his fare, rides
down the hill to Herron avenue and is dumped
off. He then takes passage on the Central
Passenger road, pays another fare and con¬
tinues on his way to the city. The citizen is
put to the excuse of paying two fares, and
suffers, besides, the inconvenience of changing
ours, simply liecause he is compelled to pah
ronize two different and opposing roads.
Much an arrangement is certainly not in llw
Interest of the people for whose convenience
and accommodation railways are supposed to
be built.
We are told, however, that the resident of
Herron Hill can ride the other way on the
Bellefleld n>nd to Neville street, thence by
Craig street road to Fifth avenue, where he
can t>e transferred to the Fifth avenue mad
and thus reach the city by the payment of one
fare.
But would not this be a circuitous route by
which to get to the business center of the rltr?
Would not the time consumed in making the
trip be more than double that required liy the
shorter and more direct route by way oft'enter
avenue?
If “ l Ime is money," should not time be con¬
sidered an Important element in providing
facilities for carrying citizens to Hnd from
their homes?
The Central Passenger Railway Company, I
am informed, already lias by express agree¬
ment from the Dnquesne Trnctlon Company,
the privilege of using the tracks of the (Twig
Street Railway (Company on Center avenue
eastwardly a distance of about a mile to
Negley avenue.
The construction of five-sixths of b mile of
road from Herron avenue to Neville street, and
of 2,. r i00 feet eastward ly on ('enter ft venue from
Negley avenue would, therefore, give the ssld
Central Passenger Railway Company a coo-
linuous line of road from Wood street to
Liberty Hall.
Travel, on the cable and electric mads, to
and from the Fast Fnd Is Increasing every
day, and It will only be a very short Ume
until additional facilities will be required to
carry the immense number of people who will
be located In that part of our city.
Is It w’ise, then, to give up r part of Ontre
avenue to a company that does not nroww
to give the city a through road to tne n«l
170
Kml fliKl by ho doing establish «» insuiMTHble
barrier against, the ronsuni illation ofsuch n
project in ttie future?
A* between these two companies Hiking
permission to occupy Center avenue. I firmly
believe the interests of the public will be bent
MitwwTVPtl by granting the franclilne to the *
company that promiHen facilities for through
travel.
If my poHition he correct, then. It b(vomeK
our duty as the representatives of the jieonle
to refuse tlje rights and privileges asked for by
the Bellotletd Company In thiHordinance.
I have other objections to the ordiimnce.
Recently, ns you know, Center avenue has, at
the expense of the abutting property owners,
been pitved with block stone.
The ordinance should therefore, contain a
provision requiring the company to jsiy for
the materials usecT In paving the seven or
eight thousand square yards of the stn*et
which will be occupied by the railway, should
the ordinance be finally passed, and which,
under the provisions of the general ordinance
thecomjmny will he required to pave.
The ordinance imssed a short time ago grant¬
ing the Citizens Passenger Hallway Company
privilege to construct a railway on Frunks-
lown avenue, recently paved by the property ,
owners, contains such a provision and there is
no good reason why a similar requirement
should not be embodied In this measure.
I may say here that the parties Interested in
the Bellefielcl Hallway Com winy tell me that
the omission of this provision was an over- !
sight, and that they are not only satisfied, tut j
desire, to have it inserted In the ordinance.
The cost of the material referred to will ,
Amount, approximately, to $12,000 or $13,000.
The ordinance should contain also a provl- j
sion requiring that the railway shall be con¬
structed within a specified time.
I know the Act of Assembly says that work i
shall, in good faith, be commenced with In one
year and completed within two years from the I
Approval of tlie ordinance, but this provision |
If shnply directory.
It Is something like tlie legislative enact- j
ment thst directs our appropriations to be (
made during the month of .January or Feb¬
ruary in each year, and yet. we know our up-
propriation ordinance is never passed until j
late in the month of March.
In conclusion jjermlt me to shite that cable j
and electric roods have been a great benefit to !
ourclty, and this fact constitutes an unanswer¬
able argument why we should not erect i
breastworks to prevent other companies from
building roods and competing for the jxatron- '
Age of the public, especially in cases where
such roods are an acknowledged necessity. ,
Respectfully Yours, ;

Pittsburgh, December .11,1802.
Hon. H. I.Gouki.ky,
Mayor City of Pittsburgh.
Dear Sir:— Complying with the Acts of
Assembly and Ordinances of Councils, I have
the pleasure of presenting to you the rejport of
the expenditures and receipts of the Depart¬
ment of Public Works for the ten months
ending November Kith, 1892.
If desired, we will cheerfully furnish you
with detatled accounts of items shown, with
pay rolls and vouchers for the same, together
with any other information.
The amounts remaining to the credit of the
several bureaus in the Department, will with
careful management, meet all demands.
In making the estimates for the several
Bureaus for the incoming year I have endea¬
vored to keep them down to the lowest pos¬
sible limit, knowing that with experience,
careful management, new and Improved
machinery, we will be able to successfully
meet all the reauireinents for the next year.
In the Bureau of Engineering and Surveys I
have asked for fifty-eight thousand dollars,
being an Increase of twenty thousand dollars
over the appropriation of 1892, that being
the amount it will cost to pro|*>rly conduct
the Bureau, owing to the great amount of
work to be performed.
The amount asked for to run the entire De¬
partment for the year 1893 is one hundred and
seventy-seven thousand, three hundred and
seventy-six dollars and sixty cents (5177,178.HO)
less than the appropriation for the year 1892.
Very respectfully,
E. M. Bigf.uow,
Chief Department of Public Works.

Don. II. 1. OouKi.BY, Mayor.
Dear Sir: This board asks an appropria¬
tion of eighteen thousand dollars ($18,000) for

Very respectfully,
Frank F, Case.
Chief Assessor.
Office Central Board of Education,)
Pittsburgh, January 11,1893. J
Hon. H. I. GoUKl.KY,
Mayor of the City of Pittsburgh.
1)kak Sir.—I have the honor to submit
herewith a statement showing the estimated
expenditures of the Central Board of Educa¬
tion for the fiscal year commencing February
1. 1893.
The total amount of expenses is estimated
at five hundred two thousand eight hundred
dollars {$502,800). Of this sum four hundred
sixty thousand dollars ($400,000) will be re-
qnired to pay teachers’salaries. The increase
in this item of expense ($40,000) over the
amount appropriated last year is due to the
increase In our attendance, which made the
employment, of a large number of additional
teachers necessary and an advance in salaries
paid teachers.
The balance of the appropriation, forty*
two thousand eight hundred dollars (SJ2,8(H))*
will be required to meet t he expense of the
High and Normal Schools and other expenses
of the Board, as given in the detailed state¬
ment submitted.
The Central Board will cheerfully furnish
any In format ion you may desire to emlble
you to present to the citizens a statement as
io the disposition oft tie funds entrusted to its
care.
Yours respectfully,
(’has. Brisk a u, Ju.,

Mr. Kiiiliam by unanimous consent, pre¬

No. ir>t>.
To the Select and Common Councils of the City
of Tillsburyk:
Your Committee on Free Bridges having
carefully considered the problem in Its various
hearings and made a personal examination of
the banks of the Monongahela river from the
Point to South Thirty-fourth street would re¬
spectfully report that in their judgment said
river should.be spanned by at least four
bridges between said points, all of which
should be open for public travel without the
imposition of tolls.
Injustice, however, to the parties who in¬
vested their money in the construction of the
existing bridges at a time when they could be
obtained in no other way, your committee feel
that an effort should be made to purchase the
existing structures upon an equitable basis
before supplying their places by new erections
at or close to the location of the present
bridges.
The capital represented in the existing
bridges at the present time Is approximately
as follows:
Sinlthfield street bridge..£1,000,000
Point bridge .. (500,000
Tenth street bridge. 300,000
Your committee believes, however, that
these figures might be considerably modified
upon negotiation with the parties in interest.
In pursuance, therefore, of a general plan,
embracing four bridges, they have selected
South Twenty-second to Brady street as the
most suitable location for the bridge to be
built with the money now in hand and to be
appropriated the current year and would
recommend that proper steps be taken to au¬
thorize the issue of bonds to an amount not
exceeding SI,o00,00h to be used in the purchase
of the existing bridges or the erection of new
bridges at other suitable points.
For tills purpose they have returned with
their affirmative recommendation appropri¬
ate ordinances for which they ask your favor¬
able consideration.

To the Common Council of the City of Pittsburgh:
Gentlemen: —On November 14th last you
referred to me an ordinance repealing an or¬

An examination of the matter satisfies me
the ordinance should be repealed. Tlie part
of the street to be opened is very small and

the costs will be heavy. In my Judgment it

Genti.emen The city has large balances
in several sinking funds not pledged to parti¬
cular loans hut which are applicable to the

of the city. I deem it better to use these balan¬
ces in paying Water Bonds which will mature
April 1st, next, rather than disturb the invest¬
ments In the Water Loan Sinking Fund at
this time.

tion Is therefore respectfully requested,
E, 8. Morrow,

the city which are applicable to the payment

at discretion draw upon the Municipal Kink¬

Mayor’s Office, 1
Pittsburgh, Pa„ March Wh, IWft. J *
7b the Honorable the Select nnri (Xtmmem Cbnn-
ettf o/ the City of Pittsburgh.
Sirs—A t the urgent demand of a large num¬
ber of worthy eltlzens. on November JO, I8B2.
by a communication of that date, tn the exer¬
cise of the supervlsorv power of the Mayor, f
directed the tmiefofthe I>ep« rt ment of ImbUe
Safety, by bis police, “to enforce the law
300
against all houses of ill-repute in the city.” A
copy of the letter conveying my directions on
this subject, together with the enclosure trans¬
mitted herewith, Is hereunto attached, marked
■‘A.”
Immediately upon receiving this direction
the Chief of the Department of Public Safety
issued an order to the Superintendent of Police
commanding him “to close and keep closed
all houses of ill-repute in this city.” A copy
of the order referred to is hereto attached,
marked “B.”
He at the same time issued to his subordi¬
nates a verbal order which he communicated
to me in person, to notify the keepers of such
houses to have their inmates out and their
1 louses closed by 10 o’clock in the evening of
the day on which his orders were issued.
In response to these orders from the Chief,
the Superintendent of Police instructed his in¬
spectors and detectives to close all such houses
on the same day. This summary action on
the part of the Chief of the Department of Pub¬
lic .Safety was wholly without warrant of law,
and was necessarily contrary to my direction,
which simply called upon him “to enforce the
law ngainstall houses of ill-repute in t he city.”'
On December 1, 1892, In a public address to a
large number of the women who bad thus been
summarily thrown into the streets, I de¬
nounced tliis cruel and illegal action of the
Chief of the Department of Public Safety, as it
deserved. Thereupon the Chief, on December
2, 1892, Issued an order to the Superintendent
of Police not “to eject or molest any of the in¬
mates of the houses of prostitution until his
Honor (the Mayor) shall indicate the date at
which he desires his order of November 30th
to go into execution.” This latter order has
never been otlicially communicated to me, but
I herewith enclose a copy, marked “C,” taken
from the newspapers of the city.
This order having been called to my atten¬
tion by its publication in the newspapers, I
addressed a letter to the Chief, under date of
December 3, 1892, again commanding him to
enforce the law. A copy of this letter Is here¬
with enclosed, marked “D.”
To this the Chief replied In a communica¬
tion, under date of December 6, 1892, which I
herewith submit, marked “K.”
I replied to this communication under date
of December 7, 1892, again urging upon the
Chief the performance of his duty in the en¬
forcement of the law. A copy of my reply I
enclose herewith, marked “F.” To this I have
never received any response by word or act.
The Chief’s order to the Huperintendent of
Police, of December 2, 1892, above referred to,
directing him not “to eject or molest any of
the inmates of the houses of prostitution” still
remains in force, so far as I have been in¬
formed, and under Its protection these houses
openly, notoriously and defiantly carry on
their infamous traffic, witli the full knowledge
and consent of the Chief of the Department of
Public Safety, the police of the city being ex¬
pressly and publicly commanded not to mo¬
lest them.
I have requested the City Attorney for Ids
opinion as to my jx>wer to compel compliance
by the Chief of the Department of Public Safety
with my directions. I enclose herewith a copy
of the opinion, marked “G.” Upon an exami¬
nation of it you will find that I am advised I
have no power to compel obedience to my di¬
rections, and that it would seem to be my duty
to submit the matter to Councils. That the
act of June 14, 1887, In relation to the govern¬
ment of cities of the second class, under which
our present city government is organized,
should give the Mayor the power to direct pub¬
lic officers in the line of their duty under tiie
law and the ordinances and yet purposely
withheld from him any power or means by
which to compel obedience to such directions,
is an anomaly in the art of government, but It
is unquestionably true.
By Section 20, of the Act of April <i, 18157, It is
provided that
“Any officer or agent appointed by or under
the authority of City Councils may be removed
from office by a concurrent vote of the major¬
ity of all the members of each Council.”
In view of this clear power vested In you,
and which is the only power to compel de¬
cency of conduct in the Chief of departments,
I beg you seriously to consider the conduct of
the Chief of the Department of Public Safety,
as above detailed.
The Commonwealth has enacted:
“If any person shall keep and maintain a
common bawdy house or place for the practice
of fornication, or shall knowingly letor demise
a house or part thereof to be so occupied, lie or
she shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on
conviction be sentenced to pay a fine not ex¬
ceeding one thousand dollars and to undergo
an imprisonment not exceeding two years,”
Purdon’s Digest, 413.
In addition to this law of the Commonwealth
for the suppression of such evil, your honor¬
able bodies, in pursuance of power expressly
given, have long since enacted an ordinance
empowering the police to arrest the keetiers of
houses of ill-fame and all persons found there¬
in, and providing for their proper trial and
punishment before the magistrates of the city.
This ordinance, of course, only empowers ar¬
rests to be made in a legal manner, and, In the
opinion of the City Attorney, herewith sub¬
mitted, is mandatory, imposing an Imperative
duty upon the police department to execute its
provisions.
By the conduct of the Chief of the Depart
ment of Public Safety, above shown, that
which the law-making power of the State has
declared to be a crime Is now protected and de¬
fended by the sworn guardians of the law; the
imperative duty imposed upon the police by
the ordinance of your honorable bodies is set
at naught arid deliberately repudiated; and
the directions of the Mayor, given in pursu¬
ance of lawful authority, are publicly defied.
The State has declared Die keeping of a house
of ill-fame a crime. The Chief declares It a
necessary evil to he protected, under police
surveillance. Your honorable bodies, shak¬
ing for the City of Pittsburgh, In pursuance of
the law, have commanded the city police to ar¬
rest the keeper and the inmates of all such
houses. The Chief has commanded the police
not to molest them. The law gives the Mayor
power to direct the rhief in the line of his duty
under the law and the ordinances. The Chief
defies the directions and contemptuously re-
fuses any obedience.
This conduct on the part of the Chief is not
the result of temper, or of an ill-considered
resolution, but Is the result of a deliberate and
long-formed intention. Tills is manifest from
his so-called “policy.” as set forth in his An¬
nual Report to your honorable bodies, under
date of February 1, 1890. In that report he
says:
1
*‘I have no hesitation In Haying it. (prostitu¬
tion) is a vice as old as the world, and 1 have
no hesitation in saying that it is probably a
police necessity, and one of those conditions of
human society that In great centers of popula¬
tion, like that of Pittsburgh, had better be tol¬
erated, regulated and controlled by police sur¬
veillance rather than to attempt to crush it
out.”
His refusal to obey my directions, and his
order to the police not to molest this vice, are
in pursuance of this deliberately formed policy
so long ago adopted.
1 need hardly remind you that an officer
whose sworn duty it is to execute the law has
no right to know any policy but the policy of
the law. It is only the supreinest presump¬
tion in a policeman to erect hi in self Into a cen¬
sor of the policy so clearly defined by the law
und the ordinances that he is sworn to exe¬
cute. to reverse the policy of the Htute thus ex¬
pressed, to abolish the law, and to set up to be
a rule unto himself. It is certainly not his
function hi speculate upon social theories of
hlsown,and to adopt them for the guidance
of his conduct, when they are In violent con¬
flict with the law that It is hits duty to execute.
It is not worth while, therefore, and would be
presumptuous, to discuss the meritsof the the¬
ory adopted by the Chief of the Department of
Public Safety for dealing with this vice. His
theory, however, is an litter abomination. To
only one feature of it I need call your atten¬
tion. If these houses are to be tolerated tlie
degree of toleration, the subjects of toleration,
are left wholly to the will of the Chief. The
proprietress who meets his approval can con¬
duct her business in safety; one who meets his
disapproval is at once under the condemna¬
tion of the law. When the criminal to lie tol¬
erated is left to the arbitrary selection of the
Chief, the motives governing the selection are
secret and cannot be fathomed or exposed.
This theory, therefore, can easily be made the
convenient cloak for the levying of black mail
, by the police department. It may be that a
house that, pays assessments to furt her the po¬
litical ends of the officer in power may do busi¬
ness, and one that refuses such tribute may be
suppressed. The price of conducting the infa¬
mous traffic may thus be made a corruption
fund to debauch the voter and perpetuate the
fiower of the dictator who grants at will the
privilege to offend against the law without fear
of punishment. Such a result, o'f course, is
the inevitable result of the conduct of an of¬
ficer who pretends to tolerate, regulate and
control by police surveillance a vice that the
law denounces ns a crime to be punished.
The only security of the community is in the
uniform, impartial and vigorous enforcement
of the law. When fhe day comes, if it ever
does come, that an executive officer can select,
from the catalogue of crimes, such as arc to be
tolerated regulated and controlled, in his dis¬
cretion, and such as are to be prosecuted and
S unished, the time of absolute and corrupt
espotism is at hand, A more impudent as¬
sumption of power on the part of a policeman
can hardly be imagined than is involved in
the publicly declared purpose of the Chief of
the Department of Public Safety.
The anchor of popular government Is loyalty
tothe law. Wilful, contemptuous defiance of
law and legal authority must necessarily end
In anarchy or absolute despotism. Much con¬
duct on the part of the humblest citizen Is to
be deplored; much more is It to be regretted
and resented in one entrusted by the people to
enforce the law, and sworn to discharge his
duty with fidelity. Such conduct in a public
officer, sett ing forth a most demoralizing ex¬
ample to the community, demands the «<*-
verest condemnation. 11 Is tlme now to deter-
mine whether or not a policeman can, with
impunity, defy a statute expressing the high¬
est moral purpose of the State, the ordinance
of Councils, and the lawful directions of his
superior officer. If It be so, we can <4ily trust
ft self-governing people to find a remedy.
J most urgently cull uinm you to vindicate
your own character and the character of our
community by promptly punishing the con¬
tumacious defiance of all law and legal au¬
thority exhibited In the conduct of the Chief
of the Department of Public Safety in the sub¬
ject matter herein referred to.
I urgently move you to exercise your {Kiwer
to remove from office a recreant official, and
to direct the City Attorney to co-operate with
the District Attorney in securing his Indict¬
ment and conviction in the Criminal Court,
Yours truly,
It. I. fiorm.KY,

The Cli Air presented
No. 1078.
Mayor’s Office, \
Pitthbituoh, Pa., March 13th, 1893./
To the l*rexident and Member* of Common
Council:
Gf.ntlkmen Hermit me to return to your
honorable body without my approval “An Or¬
dinance (Bill No. luOt>, Common Council) mak¬
ing appropriations for the fiscal year begin¬
ning February 1st, IH93, and authorizing the
expenditures thereof.”
Outside of all other considerations there Is
one section in this ordinance to which I can¬
not subscribe, tin<l which in itself would pre¬
vent my approval of the measure.
Section 9 says:
“The Chiefs of the several departments of
the city are hereby authorized and empowered
to provide supplies for their respective depart¬
ments, to advertise for bids and let contracts
for the same in the manner now provided by
law and the Ordinances of said city, not how¬
ever exceeding in any case the amounts ap¬
propriated for said purpose.’’^
I do not believe this Section should find any
place in an appropriation Ordinance. It has
reference to a matter entirely foreign to that
of making appropriations, and should not be
incorporated in this measure. It, moreover,
in my judgment, makes the whole bill of
doubtful legality, as the Act of Assembly pro¬
vides that “No bill shall be passed containing
more than one subject, which shall be clearly
expressed in its title.”
If the Chiefs do not already possess author¬
ity to provide supplies for their respective de¬
partments, some of them have been exercising
that power in a very free and unrestricted
manner.
While lam in favor of conferring upon the
Chiefs of departments the power to provide
necessary supplies, I am very decided in the
conviction that such power should be con¬
trolled and regulated in sueh a manner as to
prevent the extravagant expenditure of pub¬
lic money and confine the purchases to sup¬
plies, materials and apparatus expressly au¬
thorized by law.
The Ordinance appropriates for the use of the
Department of Public safety the sum of 889V
574.75, which is an increase of 27 percent over
the expenditures of the department for the
year ending February 1st, 1892. The Fire Bu¬
reau gets 8340,399.40 and the Bureau of Police
$421,095.00.
I do not say that the salaries paid our fire¬
men and policemen are excessive. I do not
believe they are. I believe that every efficient
fireman and every faithful j>oliceman if) the
employ of the city earns every dollar lie re¬
ceives.
But ft is my deliberate opinion that money
is lavishly expended in other directions.
Matrons and janitors of station houses re¬
ceive as large or almost as large salaries as the
patrolmen of the city, and the first named get
more than the teachers of our public schools.
The employes of the dog pound receive larger
salaries than half the firemen of the city, who
are on duty twenty-four hours in the day.
It requires si x men at a salary of 8912.50 each
per annum to run this very important bureau,
notwithstanding the fact that tiie catching of
dogs and the issuing of dog licenses are con¬
fined to two or three months In the year.
In the estimates of the Department of Public
Safety provision is made for the payment of a
salary of $1,590 a year to the Chief Sanitary In¬
spector of the Board of Health, who at present
receives a salary of 81,000 per annum. The
proposed salary would place tills officer al¬
most on a par with the Sujxirlntendent and
give him $3<K) a year more money than Is re¬
ceived by tiie Chief Clerk of tiie bureau.
By abandoning the use of Kook’s hill farm
and the store house on Wylie avenue consid¬
erable money might be saved to the city. The
former Is in my judgment an expensive and
unnecessary luxury, and whatever supplies
34
are kept In the latter could bo removed to the
commodious engine house recently erected in
the First ward.
Perhaps the most important duty of one of
the employes at the store-house to which I re¬
fer is to drive one of the officers of the city back
and forth between his residence and City hall.
Morning, noon and night this duty is per¬
formed with unceasing regularity.
It does seem that with the excellent facilities
afforded by the cable and electric roads for
reaching all parts of the city, many of the
horses and buggies supplied at public expense
might very properly be dispensed with.
By the exercise of a little more economy in
the furnish inent of engine and station houses,
and in the purchase of house, stable and horse
supplies and by relieving the payroll of use¬
less and unnecessary employes, the expenses
of the Department of Public Safety might be
materially reduced.
In the est imates of the Department of Public
Works an appropriation is asked to cover the
salaries of 6 5 men in the Bureau of Engineer- ,
ingand Surveys for a complete year. In this
liat we find 18 inspectors, 7 chain men, 8 rod-
men and o transitmen, whose time is devoted
to outdoor service. In view of the fact that
their services cannot be profitably employed
during a large part of the w inter months, why
should they be retained on the payroll the
year round?
In the estimate for Schenley park provision
is made for a timekeeper at 91*000 a year, a
consulting engineer and landscape architect
for UJ months at $2,000, an assistant engineer at .
$2,000 a year; 1 transltrnan, 1 rod man and two i
chalnmen fora full year. What-necessity* is
there for the employment of these men during !
the whole year? W hat useful service can they i
render the city in the winter months? It seems
like an inexcusable expenditure of public
money to keep men on the payroll when their
services cannot be advantageously utilized by
the city. I observe also in the contemplated
expenditures forSchenley park the same old
item of ${,000 for making plans. This item
makes its appearance whenever the Appropri¬
ation Ordinance is under consideration, and
demands recognition. Let us hope that these
plans may soon be finished.
in the Bureau of City Property there Is a Su¬
perintendent who draws a salary of $1,800 a
year. He is an excellent gentleman, and
should be given something to do. If no duties
attach to the position the sooner the office is j
abolished the better.
I believe that a proj>er reorganization of ■
some of the departments would relieve t he city j
of much dead Umber and save the taxpayers
thousands of dollars. j
In t he Bureau of Highwaysand Sewers there
arc eight sidewalk inspectors who should be )
retired and their duties transferred to the Hu- |
reau of Police. Such a course would insure j
much more efficient service and at the same
time effect, a saving of $7,500 a year.
During the past few years many thousands j
of dollars have been expended by the Depart- I
ment Of Public Works in the purchase of wag- J
ons, carta, machinery, horses, &c., without !
any express authority so far as I am able to
discover.
Such purchases, if made, should be duly au¬
thorized by an Ordinance of < ouncil.
.lust here let me suggest tbnt it Is worthy of
consideration whether extensive park im¬
provement* could not lie more economically *
made under contract than by the labor or em¬
ployes of the city.
I might refer to many Items In the < ►rdlimnee
hut time will not permit.
Relieving that the appropriations could he
reduced without impairing the efficiency of
the departments, I respectfully return the or¬
dinance to your honorable body without my
approval.
Yours truly,
II. 1. Ouctim.kv,
Mayor.

Mayor’s OFFICE, )
Pittsucroh. Pa., March 1.1th, 1893.)
To the President and Member* of Ormnnon
Council;
GRNtj.KMEN:— I beg leave to return to your
honorable l*>dv without, my approval***An
Ordinance (Bill No. 10(17, C. <J. t ) levying taxes
and assessing water rents for the fiscal year
beginning February 1st, 1893.”
The first section of this Ordinance says:
♦‘For ti»e purpose of providing sufficient reve¬
nue to meet the ordinary expenses of the city,
to pay the interest on outstanding bonds and
to discharge all other liabilities now due or
which may become payable during the said
year 1S9-3, the tuxes shall be and are hereby
levied and assessed upon all property and
other objects of taxation as follows.
This section is not true. TbeOrdlnance does
not levy sufficient taxes to meet the expendi¬
tures proposed 111 Bill No, lOUft. It Is true that
the revenues are figured out on paper, but
any person at nil familiar with the history of
past appropriations cannot hut know ihnt the
visionary and extravagant receipt* estimated
In this Ordinance will not materialize in the
335
year 1803. With appropriations aggregating
$5,000,000 and a tax rale of 12 mills there was a
shortage of $515,000 in round numbers at the
close of! 89*2; and yet it is proposed in this Or¬
dinance to provide the revenue necessary to
meet an expenditure of $5,292,280 88 in the year
1803 with a lax rate of 11 milts.
Add to this at least $330,000 of city tax that
will pass into tile hands of the Delinquent Tax
Collector, and cannot in consequence be made
available during the present, year, and we
have $050,000, or what seems to me will, under
this Ordinance, be the deficiency at the cloBe
of 1893.
That is to say, tlie appropriations are in¬
creased almost $300,000, while the revenue
from the city tax Is reduced $130,000.
In the first part of this statement there is
nothing remarkable History is simply re¬
peating itself. The expenses are climbing
higher and higher. The total appropriations
for 1893are more titan $2,000,000 in excess of
the appropriations of 188s, or an increase of 62
per cent, in five years, but what is remarkable
is the reduction in the revenue from property
tax. Not since the organization of our new
system of government lias there been such a
showing. In some cases the miliage has been
reduced, but under such circumstances the
valuations have gone up sufficiently to insure
an increase year by year in the revenue from
property lax.
It would seem that in this Ordinance a des¬
perate effort had been made to redeem the
pledge set forth in a circular to the taxpayers
of the city on the eve of the recent election by
the distinguished Chairman of the Jate Repub¬
lican Campaign Committee.
To fulfil that promise, to reduce the reve¬
nues and yet increase the expenditures re¬
quired astute financiering, and involved an
arithmetical principle entirely novel, and
which should be incorporated in the text
books of our public schools.
If we bad a deficiency of $ 515,000 at the close
of 1892, with a property tax of $130,000 in excess
of Unit of the present year, and with appropria¬
tions aggregating $300,000 less than tlie appro¬
priations of tlie present year, what will the
harvest be at the close of 1893 ?
By inflating the estimated receipts outside
of tiie property tax. It is not a difficult matter
to tnake the revenues appear equal to the pro¬
posed expenditures of the city; but will these
fanciful figures produce tangible results?
An examination of the Appropriation Ordi¬
nance of 1892 si lows that the estimated reve¬
nues other than those from city tax aggre¬
gated the sum of $2,119,802.50. Of this sum
there was collected during the year $1,973,-
424.14, thus leavtnga shortage in the estimated
receipts from the sources to which I refer of
$116,878 36.
In the Ordinance before me the revenues ex¬
pected from t hese same sources are fixed at
$2,542,286.80. This is an increase of $422,484.38
over the estimates of last, year, and exceeds
the amount collected during 18112 by $568,862.74.
In order to realize these estimates we shall
have to receive Just about thirty per cent,
more money during the present year than
was collected from the same source in 1892. Is
it reasonable to expect this? I do not believe
it is.
Should wc only collect an amount equal to
the sum collected in 1892, we would have a re¬
sulting shortage in the estimated revenues
from sou ices referred to of $508,862.74. Should
we collect an amount equal to the estimates
of last year, which exceeded the sum realized
bv $146,37836, we would still have a deficiency
of $422,484 38.
Even granting that we shall realize from
these estimates $250,000 more than was col¬
lected from same sources In 1892, the sum real¬
ized will fall short of the estimated revenues
just about $320,000.
As an illustration of the extent to which the
estimated receipts are Inflated in this Ordi¬
nance, let me refer only to water rents. Last
year the estimated revenue from this source
was fixed at $610,000. There was collected dim
ing the year $60o,000, in round numbers, thus
leaving a shortage of $36,000.
The present Ordinance places the Income
from water rents at $770,600, which Is an in¬
crease of twenty per cent, over the estimate of
last year.
To realize this sum will require the collec¬
tion of $165,000, or twenty-seven percent, more
revenue than was received from water rents
in the year 1892. 1 do not believe tills is
possible. The growth of the city will Justify
no such expectation.
I might refer to other items in the Ordi¬
nance, but it is unnecessary at this time.
Hither the tax rate should be increased two
mills or the appropriations should be reduced
at least $600,000.
The increase proposed by this Ordinance in
the estimated receipts from all sources out¬
side of city tax is greater than the increase In
the estimated revenues from same sources for
the three years ending February 1st, 1891.
The estimates are excessive. They are not
honest. They may be used for the time being
to secure large and extravagant appropria¬
tions without Increasing the tax rate, but the
inevitable result will be increased deficiencies
and a heavier burden for the taxpayers in
1894.
Respectfully snbinitied.

Mayor.

Mr. JIaction igle moved
That Council take a recess for thirty
minutes.
Which motion did not prevail,
Mr. Wilson moved
To reconsider the vote by which C. (\
Bill No. 1007. An Ordinance enlliled •♦An
Ordinance levying taxes and assessing waler
rents for the fiscal year loginning February
1st. 1898.” Failed to pass notwithstanding the
objections of the Mnyor.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Dial I.
Mr. Hlnjc arose to a point or order, to wit:
Mr. Piatt not being present at the lime the
vote was taken, he could not second the
motion.
The 4'lialr ruled as follows; Section 9,
Rule 4, Rules of Order, provides that “When
a question has been once tnken and decided
affirmatively or negatively ll shall be in order
for any member who may have voted In the
majority lo move for a reconsideration, but
says nothing about a seconder of the motion,
and in the absenceof a specific rule on the
subject ft would be in order for any member
to second the motion fora reconsideration,”
therefore the point of order was **nol well
taken.”
{?.
Mr. King arose to a point of order, viz:
That Sec. ( J, Buie 4, provides that “A member
who may have voted in the majority S' may
move for a reconsideration, and Mr. Wilson
having voted in the minority lie was not com¬
petent, to move a reconsideration of the vote.
The Chair ruled : That the bill not having
received a legal majority of votes to pass it
over theobjectlons of the Mayor, it would re¬
quire a member who voted in the minority to
move a reconsideration of the vote, and Mr.
WJIkoii having voted in the minority he was
competent to make the motion to reconsider
tlie vote, therefore the point of order was
“not well taken.”
The Cliutr to sustain Its position quoted
from 8mnil’s Hand Book, page 718, as follows:
“The point of order was raised, That when a
bill falls on its final passage for want of a
constitutional majority, does it require
those who voted for the bill, who may he of
a majority of the votes cast., or those voting
against the bill, although of a minority of the
votes cast,, to move to reconsider? The
speaker ruled that it would require thcmollon
to reconsider to be made by those voting
against, the passage of the bill.”
Mr. O'Donnell moved

call of the ayes and noes, and the demand
having been sustained, the ayes and noes

PlTTHHUROIf, March 27th, 1893.
To the President and Member* of Cbmtnon
Council:
Oent:lkmkn 1 beg leave to return to your
honorable body without my approval the ac¬
companying resolution directing the Depart¬
ment of Public Safety to consummate the pur¬
chase of property at Rutter street and Penn
avenue for use of Bureau of Fire.
The purchase of this property has l>ecn au¬
thorized by your honorable bodies, and In pur¬
suance of a resolution passed by you some
months ago a contract or agreement was en¬
tered into by the Chief of tne Department of
Public .Safety to hike the property,
I am not, therefore, opposed to the purchase
of the property, hut the consummation of the
purchase must be effected by au Ordinance
and not by a resolution of Councils.
I would suggest, therefore, I hat your honor¬
able bodies piss the Ordinance necessary to
accomplish the purpose Intended by this reso¬
lution.
Respectfully yours,
H, I. Uol’RIJtY,
Mayor.
Which was read and received.
Mr. Munition moved

Which motion prevailed.
Also,
No. 1325.
Pittshuroh, March 27th, 1893.
To the President and Member* of Common
Council;
Gentlemen:—I hereby acknowledge the re¬
ceipt of the resolutions of your honorable
booles, passed March 9tli, 1893,directing me to
make u criminal Information against J r O.
Brown, Chief of the I>epnrtment of Public
Safety, upon such charges as 1 see fit, and re¬
citing that you have no knowledge of any vio¬
lation of the law on the part of Mr. Brown.
That you should direct the criminal prose¬
cution of n servant of yours in the same breath
that you profess utter Ignorance of any mis¬
conduct of which he Is probably guiltv. Is, to
say tho least, rno«L remarkable, ami not in
keeping with the slightest sense of the official
duties imposed upon you by law.
The Act of March lMth, 1875, Thomson’s Di¬
gest. page 84, gives you exclusive supervision
of the official conduct of all city officers, and
directs that you shall examine the ground of
all reasonable complaints made against any
of them, with the exception of polire officers,
and that you shall cause all their violations
and negtect of dutj* to t>e promptly punished
or reported to the proper tribunal for correc¬
tion.
From this It Is perfectly clmr that the pri¬
mary duty of inquiry and determination is
with you and not with sn Alderman upon,
criminal information made.
••U9
As by these resolutions you openly profess
not to have made any inquiry in this Instance,
and have reached no conclusion as to the
probable guilt or innocence of the officer
charged, I would suggest that you had better
follow the course laid down for you by the
statutes in such cases, instead of straying into
strange paths with the result, if not the pur¬
pose, of evading a plain duty imposed upon
you by the law.
I can find no law imposing upon the indi¬
vidual filling for the time being the office of
Mayor the duty of becoming private prosecu¬
tor of public officers appointed by and respon¬
sible to Councils. I know of no authority in
Councils to direct the Mayor to become such
prosecutor.
My complaint against the Chief of the De¬
partment of Public Safety is not of a private
or personal character. All I have done has
been donesohdy in the discharge of the offi¬
cial ohligaiion of the Mayor, as imposed by
the law, and expounded by the City Attorney.
I have no personal quarrel with Mr. Brown,
andean see no reason why I should transcend
my official obligation. If you wiH only dis¬
charge yours there will be no necessity of in¬
dividuals volunteering their services that the
ends of justice may be accomplished.
The only charge the Mayor has made against
the Chief of the Department of Public safety
is wilful and deliberate refusal to perform a
plain official duty by enforcing the law and
Ordinance against houses of ill repute.
The evidence to support the charge is the of¬
ficial correspondence I have submitted to you
with my recent message, and which you have
not taken the pains to read- when you do read
it you will be no longer able to profess the ig¬
norance proclaimed by you in these resolu¬
tions. Upon this single charge, with the evi¬
dence presented in the official correspondence
to support it, I have made the suggestion and
urged the action set forth in my recent com¬
munication to your honorable bodies.
If your honorable bodies can for one mo¬
ment believe, or imagine that you can make
others believe that, by the passage of these
resolutions, you are discharging the duty im¬
posed upon you by the law to investigate and
to secure the punishment of official miscon¬
duct in your appointees, it is useless to under¬
take to enlighten you.
You have complete authority,and under the
law it is your duty to investigate, and if you
believe from the evidence submitted and now
before you, when you come to read it, that
your appoint' e has been guilty of misconduct,
you have ample and efficient power to secure
his punishment without the necessity of call¬
ing upon some one else to discharge a duty
which the law imposes upon you.
Let me add, that any honesty of purpose
would require your own Judgment upon the
evidence offered as to the misconduct of your
officer to be expressed, and some measure of
your own power exercised, before you throw
yourselves helplessly upon the judgment of a
jury in the Criminal Court.
Being unwilling to relieve you of duties and
responsibilities which belong to your honor¬
able bodies 1 can neither comply with, nor ap-
prove,.yonr resolution of instructions.
Respectfully yours,
II, I. OOl’RLEY,
• Mayor.
